One theory - when you use wider tires, in effect your contact patch widens. Under same load conditions theoretically the contact patch actually stays the same between tire widths. So instead of a square contact patch you have an elongated contact patch which will affect the turning characteristics.
During my turn-ins at the track I generally stay on the brake a little longer (trail brake) and add some steering input before I fully release the brake initiating some rotation to get things going.
Driving on the track is much different than on he street as you approach the limits
