Question Run flats and spirited driving

After having my car for a month and change and weather getting better, potholes being filled, I've finally started to put the car in Sport mode and drive this car like I drove my Audi TT (well almost as this GCFW is twice everything of the TT)

One thing I've noticed quickly is the grip, or lack thereof of these run flats. I mean I do not get any sense of security going fast and turning no matter how shallow the corner. Not that the car is soft, it's hard but I don't have confidence in the tires just yet.

For anyone in the NY, NJ and CT, you all know the Merritt Parkway, a pretty fun drive. I'm wondering if these tires are up for that road (two lanes for say 100 miles, curves, hills but fun, fun, fun)...

Is it just me, the tires (only 2400 miles thus far), maybe not warm enough or am I expecting too much?

For the record, I'm not racing or anything but I cruise safely anywhere between 80-100mph weather and roads permitting.

Thoughts?
