I'm by no means a tire expert, but my educated guess would be more contact patch to the rear lets the computer send more power to the wheels decreasing understeer? Of course I'm just guessing.

But in any case wheel wise, I was about to pull the trigger on some CSL reps, but I kind of want a lip now that I'm going for a staggered setup. I may end up getting those Linea Corse Z2S or w/e they're called. CSL look but with a lip = hot.
