It's a nice predictable RWD vehicle. If the nannies are kicking in on public roads, you're likely driving way outside the safe zone. Take it back a notch.

The "fun" stock tyres will do that. I unconsciously adjust my driving but I can see how it might be disconcerting for some.

Yup they can be "fun". I'm tempted to get something more grippy because the winter is going to very "fun"

Be really progressive on throttle, stock tire has no grip in the wet. you might crush in snow with stock ... Last time I was in snow. My car was like rolling downhill while trying to go up hill.... It was very fun.

Oh, they are a summer-only compound for sure. Dangerously "fun" in the winter.
