Lost the tail end twice .. scared ****************less

Ok. Twice this happened on my 'new to me' S.

From a dead stop. Stop sign / red light, whatever, I accelerate slowly and make a LEFT turn .. never going over 3krpm. All the sudden, after the turn, the car fishtails for a split second, sliding left once, then right once, then i counter steer and it straightens out instantly.

Both time that happens it has been on slow left turns from dead stop. I drive the car hard on turns before and that has never happened. Now i am very very scared to turn hard in it, which defeats the purpose of having a porsche in the first place.

Just got two new Falken 452s on the front. Rear running Falken ST115 with about 40% tread life left, but I doubt its tires.

After the way I have driven this car on some corners, without even so much as a screech from the tires, I cant see it breaking traction at 30-35 mph on a soft left turn.

Any thoughts?

BTW, I have a 2002 Boxster S with 37k miles if anyone was wondering
