I adjusted the tire pressure today to more like 26-27 in the rear and 28-29 in the front (the pressure is exact in all tires, but I am not sure of the completely cold temp as I drove about 1/2 mile to the gas station before filling them, so they might have been warmed up slightly - will check again when they are cold). Slightly rougher ride, but the car handles much better. I think that was it. I will get the cross weights done at some point on the CACC scales too just to be sure, but it's much better now.
