First check to see if it has the OEM Ecopias mounted. These tires give great range, but make the handling "mushy" and have weak sidewalls. Replacing those with better LRR (or if range isn't an issue for you, good non-LRR) tires can make a huge difference in handling.
Maybe that's why mine drives so well. The guy I bought it from replaced the original tires with some Westlake brand tires before I ever drove it. I run them around 42psi, but have never had any tire issues. The range may suffer a little, as I don't believe they are LRR tires.
