As I understand it (and only from reading stuff online, not actual practice), the wider you run in front (225 vs 215), the more grip you will have in the front. This will result is less understeer and more oversteer. Running narrower tires in the front, will increase understeer and reduce oversteer. Again, this is from reading and not first hand experience, so I could be completely wrong.

So for people running the 225/255 combo, do you feel the car oversteers too much? And people with the 215/255 combo, do you feel the car understeers too much?

Thanks!

Take a look at this Real JDM article on oversteer.

Or this Handling Guide to undestand car dynamics... including rwd cars.

I notice that my car can be loose coming on power and can push while braking but all in all the car handles decently. I need to make some additional suspension changes to dial in my car further.

I have seen the S with 285 tires all the way around and this car was dialed but of course you will need to make other suspension adjustments to support this setup and lack of stagger.
