Is it just the leaning or feeling of being pushed that bothers you folks so?
my car shifts lanes when the winds gust really high. i live by a beach, and sometimes i might be going only about 40 and my car is getting pushed. when i'm speeding down the pike at about 70 mph or so, i've almost gotten into an accident more than once. the faster you drive, the less room you have for error, so even getting pushed a few inches can be a scary experience. my last car was almost the same shape (focus 2dr hatchback) and had performance tires. i didn't have a problem with being pushed by the wind as much then. i think i'm gonna try switching the tires and see how that works out.

wider rims/tires... the stockers are junk, particularly on the highway.

I'd imagine going lower would help too.

I assume so?

Grab the wheel, and stay in your lane, I never had any issues with it... even when passing a semi on a windy day 100% stock.

With the dubs on/225 tires, much better!
