I dunno... there is for sure a difference in precision between most winter tires and performance summer tires (sidewall play)... but that amounts more to steering precision (amount of correction required) vs force to steer a given amount. I've got variation in both between all 3 of our saabs, and it feels different... tires ranging from 17" Michelin pilot super sports to 15" hakkas... and eg the 15" hakkas feel more stiff to turn on the 1989 c900 but less precise than the 17" pss on the 9-5... the 16" hakkaR's on the 9-5 feel less precise than the pss's... swapping the same 15" hakkas between the 1993 and 1989 c900, one is still much stiffer than the other, with similar preciseness...
I prefer a stiff steering response. more fun like go kart!
