Tire pressure will effect the under/oversteer.
I am running 32 f / 34 r vs factory 29 f /36 r

225/255 on 17's is much better the the factory 205/255 setup

What tires are you running?
Are you staying street stock, or running a modified class
I am C Street in SCCA, car has not been modified.

Front tires I bought and are Nitto Neo gens,
Rears came on the car and are Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra, which seem to be darn sticky, probably more so than the fronts, but i tried to match the best I could.

with different tires front and rear, it could change the handling a lot

Popular tires for AX in a 986 are the hankook RS-3
