Obviously it was a lot more taily under power, but also on turn in or in any trailing throttle situation. The difference grip characteristics of the road tyres changed the balance of the car dramatically. Thinking about it, it was probably due to a combination of factors including tyre compound, construction and the level of spring and roll stiffness not suiting each other with the street tyres. Similarly, the car gets more taily as the race tyres wear out, but not to the same extent.
