Would you consider your steering, sensitive?

I too like the feel of it quite a bit. One of the reasons I bought the Z. In fact, I like it better than my e46 M3.

However, worn tires would make it feel worse.

Really? I've found the Z's steering to be pretty numb compared to my E46 M3. Also the suspension overall is very floaty compared to the M3. Maybe a set of Konis/Swift springs would fix this though. My suspension is all stock and probably on the original struts at 65k.

that's correct. I prefer the Z over the M3's. Not sure how long you have your Z, but the tires make a big difference. Especially with worn tires, it worsen the feel quite a bit.

Off topic: that m3 inline 6 is so sweet...

That's surprising. The steering felt pretty similar between the two for me, w/ the Z having a quicker ratio, maybe a hair more feedback in the Z, but more accuracy in the M3. Honestly, the two cars are comparable in so many ways, it's crazy. Great motor in that car though.

But to put in my 2¢ for the topic. IDK if it's overly sensitive, but it does tramline, the steering ratio is relatively quick so it makes the small changes even more pronounced, and this is even more evident if you're running big tires up front. IMO, steering feels good about 1-2 degrees off-center. The first degree or two just doesn't feel that tight on these cars to me.

Hochkis front sway-bar + ps4's + alignment = even better.

I thought the stock bridgestones that came on my 2014 were actually the worst tire on any car I've ever owned, ever (Yes this even includes the $55 tires I bought in college for my pos $800 mazda 323). I actually almost traded the POS in after 6 months solely because of those garbage tires, but switching the PSS's was like magic.
