I would be interested to know how this change translates to responsiveness and "feel" of the car.

Clearly more ultimate grip (which is a great thing) and it looks good too but I wonder if the sidewall not being as supported by the wheel will make the car feel sloppy, for lack of a better word, on steering input and side to side transitions. Maybe not given the stiffer sidewalls of the AD-08 and the fact that they are a more responsive tire generally than the PSS.

It would be great if the car still felt as responsive as on OEM tires but with better ultimate grip. It would save the investment on a new set of wheels

P.S. What tire pressure are you running? The outside 1.5" of the tire isn't even getting dirty or apparently touching the ground I wonder if that is a function of the narrow wheel or from too high of a tire pressure?
