Lol... finally someone come to sense and use the right word "lift". Basically almost all road car has lift aka "negative downforce".

And seriously everyone please keep both hands on steering, and sit at appropriate distance where 3 + 9 o'clock position with elbow at 45-90 degree bend.
I've seen so many drivers sit so far away, it is downright dangerous. Impossible to have good control of the car.

Sit properly, hold properly, cross wind is not that hard to compensate. When necessary slow down.

** Gone are my days with old Corolla with soft plastic like chassis, eco sponge tyres, doing top speed 190km/h floating with cross winds near KLIA.
Was rushing to attend customer escalation as most junior guy (with least valuable life as bean sprout) in the team. Not dare to do that anymore.

3 types of people. Wanna start a vote? Hahaha

- ahhhh crosswind, I gotta die
- easy peasy... I can deal with it
- huh... what crosswind???

Sorry, none of the above reduce any crosswind sway.

Don't even improve track time attack given a well establish racing driver.
What they do is increase the overall car rigidity such that driver input has less delay.

So an everyday normal driver suddenly feels more confident to drive the car closer to it's limit. The limit itself don't really change.

In the crosswind situation, it avoid over compensation by a novice driver, subsequently reduce correction needed due to the initial overcorrection.
In a racing dog fight situation, it helps the racing driver consecutive busy input.

Bigger rim and lower profile tyre would reduce grip in bumpy situation, so it depends on the road

Only real upgrade is also install some proper UHP tyre, when upgrade to larger wheel.
