My first MTB used rims that were - at best - 1/3 of the tire width. That one could corner a bit squirrely at low pressures. Say 1.5 Bar or below. No mystery to that, one could easily see the tire fold over and squirm.
I don't know if it means anything, but it's always been hard to push the bike by the seat. The front end wants to flop over.
I've never noticed the falling into turns effect, with the old tires. Maybe it's always been there, but I only noticed it because i was paying attention.
