See post #28 above... there are two separate opinions on the ps4s'

I would rather not have to add camber plates... is there another tire people have been using to maintain the stock handling?
The most important part of maintaining the stock handling (with no suspension or geometry change) is keeping the same tire and wheel sizes. The stickier tire compounds of the PS4 (and others) just increase the limit to where you begin to feel/deal with either understeer or oversteer.

Having tracked my car as well as several other M and BMW cars (although I am not a track junkie like many here), I find the 1M to be neutral and you can quite easily provoke either over or understeer based on the balance in the car - this is what makes is so fun even at street speeds. On the track this can make it be hard to be smooth. For example, turn 1 at VIR is a constant understeer to oversteer and back to understeer then oversteer battle in the 1M. The longer wheel base of say an M4 makes this corner much smoother and faster.
