tires on the 18s and 19s

Back from a test drive with 328 sport, 335 sport, 335 sport 19s. The 328 and 335 with 18s has great balance but little tire grip. On tirerack the 18s come with pirelli eco low rolling resistance tires that belong on a prius, the old all seasons perform better. Steering was light on the limit on these tires, no grip at limit. The 19 inch equiped 335 was much more like it. The chassis was being used with these summer tires, steering feel increased and grip was phenominal. Honestly if i get this car i would either replace the eco tires with summers or order the19s. And many complain about steering feel, its not the best but its comparable to the porsche 991s steering. Both have 75% feel compared to previous systems.
