[Christ]

If your steering is still too "heavy" for you, you can change the steering feel by changing the caster angle of the front wheels, which can be accomplished in several ways using the stock parts, at least by a few degrees.

If you use MC tires on your car, you will have next to no wet traction, a higher RR figure in many cases, and a fairly slide happy front end, assuming you're using a MC tire that's thinner than the OE Metro tire.

There are car tires that are thinner than the Metro's, but you just don't find them that often. Maybe some place like Coker Tire would have them? Some cars came with 10" rims and tires.

You could also get highway-rated trailer tires, but you still end up with higher RR and such.

If you do end up using MC tires on the front, you'll want to adjust the camber setting so that you can use the shoulders of the tire when steering, to make up for the leaning effect that motorcycle tires are designed to accommodate.

That will afford you the highest possibility of not sliding off the road at the first hint of wet or uneven pave.
