You're right in that the stock setup tended to be progressive oversteer, but the stock tires tended to have inconsistent grip. Once you went past their happy point, they REALLY wanted to slide. But, with the gripper tires it's hard to get the back end to step out at all. I get slight understeer, get on the gas, and she hooks up nice and neutral.
I will probably swap the tire to different corner to see if it happens again, before I mess with tire pressures. But, CSG Mike is probably correct that the wheel is too skinny. I was vacillating between 7.5" and 8" but went for the lighter weight.
