Handling vs grip

[totta Crolla]

If I were to try to describe the difference in feeling between the grip levels it would be with less grip the car feels light and needs less steering input especially when oversteering.
Conversely with more grip it feels heavy and sliding is much more sudden and difficult to predict.
I think with less grip the car is beautifully balanced and I would be prepared to leave it like this if I could arrange the same with tarmac tyres.
What is happening here is slight understeer that can be balanced out on the throttle, grippier tyres seem kill the understeer and give sudden oversteer. Does that make any sense ?
