Does anyone notice zero difference in steering wheel firmness when going from sport to +r?

Comfort to sport, difference is very noticeable. sport to +r it feels just as loose/no difference

I've driven a '17 multiple times and this was not the case. The +R mode steering felt noticeably firmer than sport.

Wondering if anyone's noticed this

I rarely drive in +R but the only difference I feel from Sport to +R is the suspension getting even firmer. No change in steering or throttle reaction.

Steering is higher effort in +R than Sport. It is a noticeable difference.

I drive up/down 9 stories of parking garage each day at the ends of my commute - if I have the car in +R, there is much more effort required than when it is in Sport.

Does it really make sense to be in +R mode while parking??? :)

No, but I'll enter the garage at the end of my commute and the car is in +R. I realize after the first 2 hairpins that it's in +R and then I'll set it to Sport, where the effort is a lot lower.

Yup exactly. But even on street use I feel it. Try doing a U-Turn in either mode and you should feel the difference

What could be the issue? easy fix?
I mean other than taking it to the dealership I’m not sure what else would be in play here.

are you testing the differences while driving or parked? they feel identical parked.
