Default Stock '06 Tires to 225/40/17F 255/40/17

Hello all. I just got some used wheels for the car. The wheels came with Kumho Ecsta 225/40/17F & 255/40/17R. I noticed that the car tends to oversteer more compared to the stock tire setup. Is this normal? Is the oversteer due to the change in front to rear tire ratio? Or is it just that the stock tires are better than the Kumhos??

Thanks,
Clyde

Stock RE050 tires are definitely better than Kumho Ecsta.
