If your front tires are rotating at a different speed then the rear, you will get a unbalanced feeling when turning. I can feel it when I go from my summer tires to my winter tires. On my winter tires the front and rear tires spin at much different speeds and steering input needed is way more then I like. It just doesn't feel as stable and balanced with you constantly having more input into the steering wheel. My front winter and summer tires rotate at the same speed (so I am used to the rotation speed of the front tires) the summer and winter rear tires do not rotate at the same speed. With my summer tires rotating at near identical speeds (1km per rotation difference in rotation speed) the unbalanced feeling is gone and rolling thru corners is a breeze with less input needed to the steering wheel. Completely different feeling of security while cornering. I can even feel this when changing lanes on the highway, just not a good balanced feeling to me.
That's my personal experience and I will always try to get the front and rear tires spinning at the closest speeds possible.
