Stock tires… horrible performance

Im getting the " continental extreme contact dws 6 plus" on Monday. Excited 👍
This car is pretty flat in corners and the torque vectoring helps things until the tires give up ..
I will be interested to see how it handles with better tires. I was pushing mine hard yesterday and it becomes a mess pretty quickly with bad understeer with the stock tires. However, the rear end does try to pull around when you lift throttle which is interesting for a torsion beam suspension.
 
The new tires are much better. Cornering and grip is very much improved. The ride is a bit firmer which is fine because its still so plush compared to my s3.

If you can i highly recommend 👍
Food to know. The stock tires lose grip so fast. The tire just rolls over. I’m wondering how much handling will be impacted for the Meridian edition with the A/T tires? I imagine quite a bit.
