I've ran taller take off pirelli slick tires before and they have a tall softer sidewall but it honestly didn't make a big difference either. All that is to say that I don't think I'm particularly sensitive to soft sidewalls, so I am probably not the right person to ask. But to me I don't feel like the sidewalls of the Nankangs feel any worse or better than the SC3.

When driving different tires the largest noticeable difference is in lateral grip between tires and how well they hold up to heat. It's very noticeable how early you can get on throttle with some tires vs others. Slower tires will give front end push way easier than the faster tires.

Gotcha,

GT4 OEM tire size is 245/35/20 F and 295/30/20 R

I notice small changes on my car because is has very little rubber bushings in the whole chassis system, so small changes have a large impact. More so than any other sports car I have ever had.

Good to know though that the CR-S's are at least a stiff sidewall constructed tire.
