Most cars seem to fail this test if you look at their YouTube channel , the CLA didn’t fair any better, even the Supra seemed to struggle so not sure this is a helpful test. Interesting though so thanks for sharing.

Apparently, you have to step up to a more performance-oriented car than a Mercedes or a Supra or a BMW to have this degree of safe and responsive handling.

So the car has less than optimal tires and it doesn't perform well?

Will better tires help?

a little.

Seeing the car's dynamics, its clear that its front loaded, and once the weight settles on whatever front corner you've loaded, it just PLOWS, tires will help a little, but the end result will be the same, terminal understeer.
