Message What are your experience and comparism on both's tire sidewall stiffness?

I had 2 Falken 451 installed today on the stock TT rims on the rear today. While they are quiet and render comfortable ride, but man, when I manipulated the emergency manuvering by pulling the steering wheel right and left quickly, the tail felt swinging after straightening the steering wheel. It's too soft for my taste. :-(
The sidewall is softer than the Kumho 711 and 712 in comparism, but Falken sticks much better.
Dunno about the tracktion yet since I only have 30 miles on them, but they felt well sticked to the road.

I am thinking of taking them back and exchanging a set of ES100 if the ES's sidewall is stiffer.
My Z is a DD, so I don't need those expensive tires like Pilot Sports or SO-3.

Thanks!

Erick
