Could it just possibly be the weather perhaps the summer time on the second set of tires being the roads being warmer hence more traction on tires. I'm probably overlooking on my opnipn have you done a car alignment?

Just because they are the same make and type does not mean they are the same.
Tyre manufacturers often retain a brand name but revise the compounds, its possible the compounds are slightly different.
Not absolutely the sollution to your problem, but a viable alternative.

My wife finds ANY REASON to take my car!! Granted, there are drawbacks, too, but that's one of the benefits of not having a wife.
BTW - you know what W.I.F.E. stands for, right?
