I can't remember handles myself. Are you also having issues with getting Discount Tire to put on the 19"? They are giving me the runaround because my car initially came with 21" (purportedly different load ratings on the car, not just the tires).
Power sliding on 19s? My wife would kill me halfway through the slide.
As for understeer, does this occur at high or low speeds? I have pushed the car pretty hard on curvy roads with no issues, but I tend to err on the side of caution on the approach and give it more throughout the turn and exit. Wouldn't want to go off a cliff side...
No issue from DT on getting 19" perhaps because its so damn common in CO for a winter tire set. Would hazard to say almost all dedicated winter tire sets are 18 or 19, regardless of the OEM size.
DT were giving me a hard time, at first, about NOT using TPMS in this new winter set. I first cleared it with Lucid Service Tech in Seattle and with Tire Rack - both said no issues with NOT having TPMS other than the warning light. And Tire Rack told me it was very common for dedicated true winter tire sets that it sells to not have TMPS.
The guys at Tire Rack and manager at my local Discount Tire were surprised that it cost $200 for Lucid to come out and set the TPMS receiver on the car for the new sensors, and that it had to be done at every switchover. They had never heard of that with any other car.
