I was wondering the same thing but the changes were apparent same day as everything was installed. I think it was more the rear sway bar going from loosest setting to stiffest setting. Once one wheel became unsettled the entire back end would shift. And since I was riding on stretched tires with about 2 degrees of negative camber the contact patch was kind of small and I had some pretty bad inner tire wear. So in the rain the back end was constantly moving a tiny bit side to side.

The new tires are both wider and taller so I'm thinking my contact patch is a lot bigger now. Plus they are ALOT softer than the PSS tires were. The DWSs eat up small bumps in the road and the car feels a lot more planted when driving at anything under 85-90% of the car's limit. Drove home in the rain today with no issues at all.

Anyways, just didn't want the OP to overlook a difference worn/stretched tires could make.
