What tires are you running?

At Putnam Park at the end of the front straight I experienced some similar skittishness from the rear end under heavy breaking. I chalked it up to tires not being grippy enough (I was still on the stock Contis) so I'd be interested in hearing some other more experienced voices chime in as to how to correct for this. It is quite confidence sapping.
