It really sounds like you need dedicated tires. These cars shine with nothing less than a high quality summer tire.

The absolute LAST thing you should settle on with a car is tires. It's what connects you to the road, and with that, it's what allows you to feel the road. I'd put on softer springs and dampers before I compromised the tires on my car.

It sounds like you won't be driving in snow, but on your 10 day forecast I see temps all the way down to 4 degrees. I'd grab some actual winter tires with an alignment for your stock wheels, (or steelies if you like your stock wheels,) and grab a summer wheel you like with a decent summer tire. Something more mild but still enthusiast oriented like the Hankook V12, all the way up to a Michelin Pilot Super Sport would be my recommendation.

What cars have you had in the past? They can help us inform why this car feels so different. If you're coming from open diff FWD cars, and you get in a Triplet on some all seasons when it's cold out, I'd be surprised if you weren't shocked at the chirping, sliding, and traction control light yelling at you.

Edit: For winter tire recommendations, I'd look at the following - Cheap: Altimax Arctic 12 - these tires are really inexpensive, dig through wicked amounts of snow, and are a dream to go snow sliding with. They are a bit more wallowy, and are not a performance tire. But for the money, who cares. They do great in all conditions, the dry you can tell the sidewalls are a bit soft, and in the wet you can tell they aren't a rain tire, but they do fine on either surface. Best overall: XIce 3 or Blizzaks - These tires are both excellent. I am a big bridgestone fan, but the Blizzaks don't wear well enough for their price imo. They do however balance the ice performance of the XIce 3, and snow performance of the Altimax arctics well. I would choose the XIce 3 for a DD tire, or one where you need a winter tire but don't plan on going out during storms all the time. The best period(.): Nokian Hakkapeliata - You don't need these tires, but they are literally the best at everything and their price shows it. They also don't wear great, but are better than the blizzaks in my experience.
