Now you're saying on the interstate and "banks" so it's a little confusing if you're actually pushing the tires or if this is leisurely interstate speed (or if there are two scenarios). I can say that in my experience, the Azenis have a lot of grip, but when they let go, it is not in any way gradual, it is a greasy feeling. The sidewalls of those tires are also insane, which may be contributing to the imbalance you're feeling; the fronts will be squishier, and the rears being stiffer is forcing more body roll since the tire carcass won't budge.

I've run the Azenis a lot in my life, and can say they're really a purpose built tire that are not good all around like the MPSS or other tires ( StarSpec Z1 back in the day, RE-71, etc) but their grip when heated is incredible. I would bet that your traction control is coming on because either the tires aren't heated, the tires haven't been through heat cycles yet, and/or they're engaging more suspension roll which is triggering the loss of traction on the road surface.
