Hey Andrew, I had a similar feeling when I had my Clem with a P&S rack with a heavy basket load...took some effort to manage the steering and didn't feel the same. Issue was resolved when I put less weight up front (during camping, it meant the sleeping setup) and switched to a smaller surly 8-pack rack...no ideas if the weight was any different, but it did make it less "twitchy." I can't comment on the GK tires, but I have had some self steer issues when using too-big-a-tire at too-low-a-pressure as well.
