Here is the explanation about understeer and oversteer from Walter Roehrl, multiple Rally World Champion and now Porsche test driver:

Understeer is when you SEE the tree you are about to hit
Oversteer is when you only HEAR the crash ...

Lol

So there is nothing wrong having 225 in front comparatively to 205 except that It may turn a bit more agressively on the front?

Thank you for all the input. Reading all the diologing about "understeer and oversteer" I can honestly say that my car has Oversteer. the reason I say that is when ever I take it out on some back roads and take a corner at 60-70mph the back end wants to beat the front end around the corner.
Any thought on General UHP tires? How about 19" wheels? What size to go with for 19"?
