you will find this with changine the width of the wheels

basicaly it has more rubber on the road = more grip also means that any small little camber will tug at the stearing and also when breaking on a slight camber it will also make the stearing very very still.

all you can do is live with it or you might be able to sort the problem by having adjustable caster lower arm ball joins put in so the wheels sit more flatly on the road insted of pointing in so much at the top ot the wheel.

dont hold me to that tho
