I have driven a lot of CJs and have never experienced one that tends to oversteer. These include stock, modded etc.
The new tyres may still have to wear in a little bit to get maximum grip.
The lancer being front wheel drive will generally understeer.

Lancer ES with a lot of oversteer??

When the bodyweight rolls from the right to the left going around a roundabout it can easily make the back let go... I've never driven hard enough for it to happen in any other situation though...
Pay attention to the weight shift... If you shift it more gently and then turn hard, rather than just flinging it over, it might not let go...
And ASC isn't magic... If the tyres aren't spinning really fast (which they aren't because they're the back tyres on a FWD car) or at different speeds (which they won't be if they both let go) it'll take a second to notice whats happening.
Gotta remember it was wet. You can make a car do anything in the wet. Except go faster
ASC will activate as soon as its readings hit a certain combination of values. If you were swerving to avoid a car you wouldn't want it to lag. If you don't want it interfering, turn it off. But you're probably breaking the law by that stage

You will have encounters with it but it will mostly leave you alone
I find its instantaneous in the dry. Theres a specific corner where the road changes from flat to slanting down to the left very suddenly near me. Its easy to make it come on around there and it always does straight away if it does.
Basically, loss of grip is the enemy of our ASC its designed to stop you coming off the road and spinning/sliding, not to help you go fast

Never have i experienced Oversteer in the Lancer nor any FWD Car.
I have lost the back end once in the Lancer, and that was just driving too fast for the conditions.
the only way i could see getting oversteer would be braking mid corner which therefor throws the weight of the car to the front, loosing the friction of the rear tires and the back end is now light so it will move around.

Losing the back end is the definition of oversteer.

No Not really, its me driving like a d!ckhead, too fast for the conditions, and the rear loosing Grip. so Drifters must have MASS amount of oversteer coz they are always loosing the rear end.
Rule of thumb is FWD Understeer because the car pulls the back end around and RWD Oversteer because the Rear is Pushing the car
