Default TC3 bad turning ratio at high speeds

My TC3 doesn't steer as well as I wish it would at moderate-high speeds.

When I'm idling along at low speed I can turn the car around in a few feet. When I'm on the throttle, even half throttle, I can no longer turn around in the width of my street.

Tires have about half life left. I've read over many of the suspension adjustments I can make but nothing sounded out of whack. How can I get better steering?

It's not about tires or any setup it's about physics. You shouldn't be able to make a tight turn at high speed.

Exactly right. It sounds more like to are suffering from understeer, rather then any mechanical problem.
