With the stock sized ps4s fitted vs. The oem mps2 did you get any understeer with the new tire?

These new ps4s are not Bmw *star rated and I am concerned that the car may understeer similar to a set of pss non-star rated that I mounted to the car.

I want to maintain the car’s stock handling as best as possible.

If you or others can comment on the retention of the oem handling that would be great.

How is the sidewall stiffness?
I think the PS4s in stock size maintain the handling characteristics of the stock car (no understeer, etc.) but provide much more grip - especially for powering out of turns.

The tires seem to fit a bit "larger" than the PS2s so if anything, they give a little bit more dampening/comfort to the ride.
