Body roll in corners S60 2007

2007 2.5T - I feel as though my car should handle a bit tighter than it does. She just turned 80k, struts are "fine" (no leaks, bounce test is passed), sway bar endlinks seem okay from what I can conjure. Its not as though it is terrible, overall ride quality is decent but I notice bridge expansion joints can sometimes feel harsh, I am attributing that to the BF Goodrich SuperSports on all 4 corners, but perhaps its indicative of something else? I know the 2.5T is not positioned as a sports car, I understand the S60R has 4C chasis, but sometimes I just feel mine should corner a bit better than it does. I know the car is heavy, I know its not a sports tuned suspension....it has stock 16 inch rims, is it just me or do the 2.5t's have mediocre handling? I took an offramp a little faster than the posted speed limit....40 instead of 30 and just felt like I had to do a little more "lean to the right" than I should expect.

Maybe the struts are tired? I have no interest i Bilsteins but if mine can be nearing end of life at 80k then I can look into having that done, crappy sway bar endlinks? Just not sure if its normal, in my head, or if there is a creeping "issue"

Thoughts?
