I'm planning on buying a set of PSS to run 275/35-18 all around, and this comment is very puzzling.
It is correct. Running a square setup will cause more understeer over stock. Square setup is beneficial for most drivers. You have to ask yourself, do you want the car to rotate or push a little bit?
