I have to think a 15" DR would exhibit this characteristic to a much greater degree... I suppose you'd have to try them to know if the feel is acceptable for your type of driving.
Great input. How much air pressure do you have to run in the fronts to get them where you like them? Can you also speak to if the tires leave residue on your rear fenders. My 03 cobra had to yo drag radials on the rear and it would leave black stuff all over the rear fenders even on 30 minute trip.
