Default Stiffer suspension or tires with less grip?

After mounting new tires - Schumacher White with HPI hard inserts - my car got too much grip.

Which way to go? Other tires/inserts with less grip or stiffer suspension?

I tend to stick with my current tires and stiffer suspension, since the car this way will roll less and therefor be more responsive. But there are some bumps in our carpet track, so the suspension can be too hard. I tried another guys CS22 tires with medium Yokomo inserts. My car felt very balanced and predictable. But those Yokomo inserts aren't avaible around here any more.

I'm running an Sport2 with saddles and a one-way. Shocks: All 4 uses 80 wt oil with shock pistons no. 5. Equivalent to 60 wt oil. Springs, HPI: Front = Yellow (392 gF/mm), Rear = Pink (272 gF/mm) Sway bars: Purple up front, red in the rear.

Stiffer springs og tires with less grip? Any suggestions and especially why?
