Default Oversteer with new tires

Just got 285/75/16 General Grabber A/T2 put on my truck. On the highway while driving home the truck had a significant increase in over steering. Feels like the body is still going right after I straightened the wheels out after turning right and vise versa. Is this normal for new tires?

I believe they are rated at 65psi and they are at 65psi. Side note: after I put about 50 miles on them the oversteer seems to be lessening.

they shouldn't have that much air in them. if it were me i would have about 52 in the front and something like 47 in the rear. if you keep them at 65psi then you will see the center of the tread disappear in no time due to over inflation. that and it'll be a little rougher on bumps.
