Not sure if it's a correct term or not, but have always heard that 'condition' called 'tramming'.

This also can be elevated when you run 2 different types of tires on the front than the rear. Lots of people mis-match due to trying to use the widest tires possible, and some brands don't make tires in all sizes. Or by running non-radial street stickies in the rear.

I've run drag radials front & rear several times on a couple cars, and did experience some tramming, but it wasn't too bad. But most are a handful in the rain.

I've run summer tires into the cold months and those were like driving on ice when it got cold out.

Since I tend to drive my cars a lot and in different seasons I only run all season tires now, and live with the fact that it will suffer from a stand-still. I generally get about a year out of rear tires, and 2 or so years out of fronts. With drag radials I got half or less than that.

It's best to have a second set of tires if you plan on doing a lot of road courses or autocross, you save money in the long run.
