Tires are stock size 18's for a 2000 S. Kuhmo's front & rear but different types. Fronts are Ecsta LS Platinum and rears are Ecsta LE Sport. I think the fronts are killing my steering response.

Oh my, two completely different classes of tires. No amount of fiddling with tire pressures can fix this. I would lose those Platinums pronto and put LE Sport 225/40/18s on the front. It will transform your car.
