One problem could be the low profile of the tires. I saw on tirerack, they had the summitomo htzrIII's rated above bridgestones, michellins and others. I would maybe see if they make those in your size. The only downfall they had was wet traction, but no traction when its wet can be fun.

don't forget about break-in:
"Tires are comprised of many layers of rubber, steel and fabric. Due to these different components, your new tires require a break-in period to ensure that they deliver their normal ride quality and maximum performance. As tires are cured, a release lubricant is applied to prevent them from sticking in their mold. Some of the lubricant stays on the surface of your tires, reducing traction until it is worn away. Five hundred miles of easy acceleration, cornering and braking will allow the mold release lubricant to wear off, allowing the other tire components to begin working together. It is also important to note that your old tires probably had very little tread depth remaining when you felt it was time to replace them. As any autocrosser or racer who has tread rubber shaved off of his tires will tell you, low tread depth tires respond quicker."Don't be surprised if your new tires are a little slower to respond (even if you use the exact same tire as before). Their new, full depth brings with it a little more tread squirm until they wear down."

Thanks, yeah they are. I really like the way the car looks. Very mean IMO.
Makes sense, thanks for the info buddy, appreciate it.
