Last year when I added a new Mtzler 880 on the front after replacing the rear with one the year before i had cornering issues. I adjusted the front tire down to 36 pounds and it took care of the "new" wobble in the corners I had. As the tire broke in I upped it to 38, then 40 and the issue never came back.

Something about fresh tires are still very stiff, when you fully inflate it you wind up with just center contact, and much less contact in the corner. What I noticed was the front wheel steering was very light when new at full pressure. Here's the conversation from this time last year.
