That doesn't fully match my experience.
Firstly I'm never very happy with new tyres, the way that the tall tread blocks "lean" with lateral load makes them feel imprecise with a delayed reaction response to input.
I do find (in these tyre sizes) that they improve in feel and grip peaking around 4mm (don't know what that is in old school numbers) and then gradually fall off in performance as they approach the wear bars where the grip is most definitely less than at their peak.
I've run endless sets of tyres on my M3s over the last seven years and the pattern is pretty constant.
