If you're feeling a difference something is wrong or off base some where else

In fact if you really push the car I'd guarantee you'll find oversteer with the bfg ta before you would with the drag radials on the back

Maybe it's the tire size and rim width combo? I have 7" wide rims. For the MT DR 255/60/15 they recommend a minimum 7.5" width. For the BFG 255/60/15 it's 7.0 minimum I don't know what that sidewall distortion does but the MT DRs feel pretty sloshy in cornering to me. It doesn't feel like breaking away, feels like a softer tire. Anyway, if I could have the road feel of the BFGs with the traction of the MT DRs that would be great.

As for tire pressure, that's also interesting. When I got the MT DRs I initially had them at 32 psi. At that psi my treadwear pattern was basically the center of the tire. I eventually worked my way down to 24 psi. There, the treadwear seemed more even. But after 2500 miles at 24 psi, they wore out in the center. They say it's not a growing tire but I'm not sure.

Edit: I run my BFGs at 24psi.
