I just bought this car (manual transmission) and it has Goodyears on it. They're about 50% right now. When I jump into it, this thing is all over the road--torque steer! And changing lanes on the interstate under acceleration is an adventure! I've heard that these tires are bad for this. Does anyone have a good suggestion for replacements? I'm in Ohio so I need all-season tires. Not trying to do any drifitng or road racing. Just average driving (with a lead foot).

What kind of goodyears? Are they new?

I'm a Michelin fan myself - you could pick up the Pilot XGT Z4's for fairly cheap, and they are really good.

Or you could go with the Pilot Sport A/S Plus - which is what I have, and have probably the best a/s tire out there.

I have the Goodyear ResponseEdge on there now. I haven't heard anything good about them!
