Guys after installing the new tires, will I notice any differences in the driving expirience? Like will the car feel like it picks up faster because of the increased grip?

I ask this because many people seriously advocate adding new tires as the first and one of the most important mods for this car.
I had 225 PSS for a while. Turn-in will feel slightly less responsive, but grip will be increased. Due to the increased diameter, your speedo will read about 1mph high at 70mph. Not a huge change. Don't expect any difference in acceleration, aside from the increased grip from a stop.

Edit: If you ever take these to the track, make sure you have at least -2.5* front camber. The outside edge of the PSS is made of a softer compound--if you don't have enough camber, you'll wear them bald on the edges.
