i remember getting some Conti SportContacts for my S2000 before and they had this problem - could literally feel the tyre 'rolling' underneath the car under hard cornering, it is a horrible feeling and very unsettling! doesn't inspire confidence!!!
The load index on rear is incorrect for our cars these tyres are not BMW star rated so the ones you get although they are XL (all PS4s are XL BTW) are not correct.

Regardless the sidewalls are very thin and the front end is very soft.

The fronts are probably a rear tyre for another car hence the lack of feel from a square section tyre rather than a more rounded front tyre.
