Very true on your oversteer comment, but there's more front end scrub. Just last night I threw on a set of 205/45-16s and then mounted 255/40-17s out back. The rear felt well planted but the front needs more grip, I experienced some understeer as I hurried down an off-ramp. By doing that one may let off the throttle just a bit, but enough to engage a touch of drop-throttle oversteer as the momentum shifts towards the front. It was controllable though, so no problem - but needed a bit more attention than a more neutral 225/245 combo.
