A bit? Have a play with your tyre pressures.

Are you mixing tyre brands? The size wouldn't do it if they're all the same.

put the wheels with the least tread on the front, will cause more understeer though.

I don't really understand what you just said.
The car should not do this unless the rear tyres are in worse condition than the fronts, or you are driving hard to provoke it. Your suspension setup will also have an affect on it.
Altering the profile should not alter the handling tendency of the car, particularly going to larger sidewalls.

At a guess i'd say tyres. My sport used to understeer.
