I think you could cary like 10 mph more thru the bus stop which you'd carry all the way down into the laces. That is huge amounts of time. Maybe not something you want to play with in your daily driver though I don't blame you. If the car feels hooked up through a turn, there is more speed available. It should feel like it is floating and skating a bit, ideally induced at turn in with a smooth brake release.

I assume by "tight" car you mean one that understeers. I'm running 275/35-18 Nitto NT01s all around. In slower corners I can definitely feel the car moving around and responding to trail braking. I understand what you mean about needing to maintain a certain degree of slip.
