got the new ones on the car, som cornering improvement but now the rear end will let go because the front is getting more grip… steady state corners i can do about at 70 +(neutral maybe oversteer a little) versus 60 with severe understeer in the contis…

but now the rain is here, they seem to be very good in rain as long as no abrupt clutch drop type moves

I think this is off topic,  
but the stock tires (continental) are they directional and asymmetric?  
Like when you rotate them can you put a driver side wheel on the passenger side?

if u look on the side of the wheel, there might be an arrow. if there is, then they are directional. i dont know off hand, i never had them.

The stock conti’s are unidirectional. You can rotate them whatever way you want.
