Tyres do have a big influence on confidence that doesn't have anything to do with reaching the limits of grip. For example, I've never got on with Metzelers, find them quite scary in fact, yet I've no doubt that they're perfectly decent tyres and capable of cornering as fast as the BT023s. It's the nature of the feedback from the tyres, some talk a language I understand, some don't.
Everyone has a different riding posture and weight distribution… what suits others can easily feel crap to you, so trying a different manufacturer sounds like a good bet.
