If you can tighten up the shocks and go up on the air pressure.

I don't think your too far off on air pressure For that tire I'd work in the 16 to 20 PSI range. The higher you can run, the better.
The radial tire likes to be planted hard, but the load needs to be maintained to keep it planted. It's trying to hold, but something isn't keeping it planted. As mentioned above, looking at the shocks would be where I'd start.
Thanks for the question.
