whats your setup? i'm currently running 305/25/20R and 255/30/20F. It's more show than performance (theres a reason why I don't have them fancy ultra-lights or te37s), but it still gets the job done.
I know that hankooks are known to have soft sidewalls, so i believe thats whats causing the understeer. yet, i think i managed to remedy that issue (okay, maybe a not at all) by running 25-profile/30-profile rubber bands.

When the tires were really warmed up on the track I would get some understeer but it would usually end up switching to over-steer at the end of the turn.
My rears are 295/25/19R and fronts are 275/30/19F I believe (going by memory).
I ended up getting some damage when I went off the track at chuckwalla valley because I got oversteer in a section I wasn't expecting it (I can usually deal with it if I am expecting it). Initial counter steer timing was fine but I panicked a little and let off the gas which totally screwed me over. Lesson learned there =P With FR letting off the gas when your getting over-steer is a very bad idea =P
EDIT: This *of course* is with VDC turned off. I would think VDC on would pretty much prevent over-steer (in most situations) and all you would ever get is understeer.
