Whats the deal with these cars steering? Its like when you go around a corner on a wet road and the wheel is turned to a certain point the car wants to slide. Its also very hard to feel the road with these things, the steering is pretty tight but its hard too and you cant feel when your tires are starting to break loose. When my g/f got her GT she almost crashed it getting off the highway when the roads were wet. She just turned the wheel alittle and the thing started sliding and the rear end broke loose also. You cant feel the road at all with this car, i even have 17's with low pro performance tires and you still cant feel crap. Anyone else find this out about yours? It does handle really well but the steering is alittle funky...what do you think?

The Michelin Pilots that came on my 97GT were terrible in the rain after they got a little wear, it really did feel unsafe in wet turns even at lower speeds, The stock 7th gen 16"wheels and Yokohama A680 tires are MUCH better in the wet, but dont handle as good in the dry. I'm now looking at either Continental Conti-Extreme or Cooper Zeon 2XS for all-around everyday driving. anyone have experience with either of these?
