I got my Dunlop G/T Qualifiers, and I'm quite satisfied. After that set of touring tires, the car feels completely different to me. Indeed, she handles, she handles well.

Ahh... Maybe this is a stupid question, but would the sport tires lessen body roll, or is that strictly a suspension issue?
Cause, if you got rid of a lot of body roll, these cars have a lot of traction... So your new tires are feeling a lot better, dk? |

I don't think they effect body roll that much, but the sidewalls are made differently. Touring sidewalls are softer and make a cushier ride, but the steering also feels less precise, and the tire doesn't deform as much in higher speed turns. Plus, I get more traction off the line now. :)
