The stiff side wall of the front summer tires keeps the car planted hard on the road and on the highway, it's rock solid. I chose the all season for the rear since I drive well over 20k miles a year.

On the other hand, V12's have crappy soft sidewalls, and that's what I think the issue is.
Its not necessarily the sidewall, its the softness of rubber. The S04pp is a 240 while the 970 is 400 compound.
