I run this same tire, and yes my bike did feel "a little sqirmish" in the turns. I started dropping my pressure 2 lbs. at a time until it got to where if feels real stable. I ended up at 28 psi. I do ride 2-up a lot of the time. I have ridden it at 25 psi and it felt good riding solo. Remember that this tire was designed to carry 1/4 of the weight of a heavy car, the whole bike doesn't weigh as much as 1/4 of the weight of a car that this tire was designed to handle.
