My old car did 202mph and was stable with Steeda Proactions, BMR Springs, Forgestars with 275/295 PS2s. Even felt stable with Nitto DRs at 180s.
This was on the Autobahn...Smooth roads unlike here

It's not the tire size, 235/55/18 is a factory GT tire size, and when I had my 2011 GT, I ran the factory Pirelli A/S 235/55/18's up to 150mph many many times.
If you're going to be driving at those speeds at the drop of a hat (unplanned in other words) than you should be checking your tire pressures regularly.
Since the tires are new, I have to ask, how many miles are on them now? I've always noticed brand new tires feel squirmy at higher speeds until the rubber release agent wears off completely.
Also, the tires you bought are an all-season high-mileage rubber compound according to the Yokohama website, meaning they're not very sticky, so regardless of the speed rating, I would be cautious with that specific Yoko tire model period.
With the ABS feeling you encountered, it could have been just that if the Dynamic Stability Control was kicking in trying to save your butt.

No event I was stationed in Germany from 2007-2012. Driving over there is like driving on racetrack 24/7. Cops dont really patrol the street like here. Sold the car when I left and the motor didnt make it much longer with the new owner. He used if for ring and autobahn abuse. With the suspension I mentioned above and the PS2s it was an awesome combo. I think it would have lasted but for some reason he put the stock plugs in it and played with the timing with the handheld.
When I had it

Very cool. So track events over there don't required a helmet? They must not have as many lawyers as we do. LOL
