I've fought with that before on medium to low grip asphalt. It's really frustrating especially when there's an Xray T3 around turning in effortlessly.

I ended up going back to a mostly stock rubber tire setup but ran slightly heavier oil in the front, smaller pistons all round and played with the droop front and rear and use 1 degree of toe out on the front wheels. I don't have my setup book near me for the next few weeks unfortunately but it is possible to overcome this situation with the TC5. I can now turn in harder than the Xray T3 at my track and get on the throttle hard without spinning out or pushing. I'm still getting a lot of front tire wear though so the front tires are still working a lot harder than I'd like them to.
