I will be playing with the air presssure in the 275's this afternoon see if I can reach a sweet point. This morning TPMS reads read 2.2 and 2.3 bar. Maybe they are a bit underinflated. If not then, Ill have to take these back and see if I can have them exchanged by Tire Rack to stock 265's.

This really really sucks
Sounds like your tires might be 3 or 4 psi low. Low rear tire pressure will make the car feel loose and squirmy at the back end. I believe the factory recommended 30 psi front and 37 psi rear (2 bar and 2.5 bar, respectively, if my conversion is correct).

Going from 265 to 275 is such a small change that you shouldn't even be able to feel it, in normal driving. After you check the pressure, let us know if there's any change.
