Yep. The car will feel much better once you have a matched set and have broken the tires in.

^ Agreed. I replaced all my OEM tires at once and went to the V12s….didn't feel any control or bad handling issues at all.

Update. Got the matching fronts installed today. The car now feels normal again. Moral of the story: WHEN REPLACING YOUR TIRES, MATCH ALL 4. Or at least with a similar tread and design.
