Any tire with more compliant sidewalls will produce a smoother ride and reduce the ''torque'' steer. Wider tires will make torque steer worse. Lower profile tires will produce more bad manners.
But stiffer sidewalls will improve turn in response, and so will the Viggen rescue kit.
I put on the Michelin Pilot Sports 16 205 50 last April. The really brought the joy of driving back to my 95SET.
For those of you who, like me, get 50,000 miles or more from soft tread performance tires, there is an effect that the folks who eat a set of tires in a year or less do not get to appreciate. Tires that age, also harden and stiffen. The ride becomes very harsh. And any tire imperfections such as out of roundess can become very nasty. So getting a better made tire such as the Michelins has long lasting benefits.
