probably because your old tire was 'squared off' or flat in the middle witch helped keep it stable while completley verticle..
your new tire is more round, therefore it has more tendancy to fall into a turn (helps with riding twisties, but makes it harder for balancing wheelies at high PSI)

man thats crazy high pressure, it might be what it calls for but that's no where near where you want for stunting. i run 25 in front and 20 in the rear, thats for highway riding or all around. stuntin i run around 10 in the back

25 front and rear is fine for stunging and the street
Simple fix...

the dunlops also have a more triangular profile than say a metzler of a michelin, this makes endos harder to balance left to right....great tire for twisties, horrible for stoppies, good for burnouts/wheelies.
your psi is a little high however, when you heat your tires up, it also increases pressure. at the track, the dunlop norm is right about 30 psi....stay aroiund there and you are good.

With the dunlop 207's DOT's we used to run 30 in front 29 in back at the track. If you have more than that you are going to get so much heat building up in that tire and it is not going to work properly. Lower the pressure to 30/29 if you want to rail turns.

besides the tire pressure, you should check to see if your wheel is alighned straight.

I run 208's at 28 psi front and back and they stick like no other!
I have never heard of anyone runing over 35psi.
PS. 207's suck
