Default mismatch tires

Does anyone have stock os2 front and yoko es100 reare tires combo? This is my current setup and whenever I make quick turns, it feel like my car wobbles. Does anyone have this kind of issue?

Mismatched tires can be a problem. The turning at the limits is where it will show up. The stock S02 has a lot more grip than the ES100.

Tere are a couple of threads with folks who replaced just the rears and were unhappy with the handling. The problem was fixed when they replaced the fronts. When I rplaxe my rears I'll replace them with the OEM tire or I'll replace all four with the es100's whether the fronts need to be replaced or not.

Another thing to remember, is that the ES100 are slippery when knew. Grip improves at between 500-1000 miles.
