Bikes handle better with similar width tyres. Wide rear tyres were added to allow powerful bikes to deliver grip & the look became a fad. Check your bicycle for an example.
A big difference in width & profile leads to a wobble couple. When at the right speed & lean angle it will either improve the turn, or at the wrong speed/lean make it worse!
And as previously said, fitting the wrong size tyre to a rim does not help.
One thing to try, is practice loosening your grip on the bars & feel how the bike turns. Lots of people counter steer went lent over when there is no need to, the wheels will find their own balance point in a corner & often washouts are caused by inappropriate counter steering.
