I'm running 205/50/16 Michilins and although the harshness has gone and the ride overall is much better, i feel i've lost some of that go kart feel. What do you think?

Thanks! As I believe I originally mentioned, I'm running 205/50/16 Nitto NeoGen tires. Still feels responsive, but not quite as "crisp" perhaps. The rock hard sidewalls of the runflats are a tradeoff of comfort versus stiffness. I'm on stock ride height, btw. I repainted my Rotas myself with a can of Duplicolor wheel paint and clearcoat, and it turned out very well.
