Perhaps "stability" means slow to change direction, however, the rear tire design still has a high level of ultimate grip? With the variable tread compound design I wonder if they don't use the "softest" compound (or smaller width) on the outer tread blocks - this would slow down turn in (give the feeling of "stability") but then as you continue to load the tire it's still capable of generating a high level of lateral grip.
