That tire combo is so good that Tamiya had them made with their TCS logo on them for us to use at TCS races.
Only issue is that the fronts can be a bit more grippy in mine and a few others opinions and when the temps come up it's exaggerated even more.
An alternative that has proven to work for many of us are the Tamiya F60 kit front tires which still steer well but are more forgiving in my hands.
So basically a little bit harder front tire can help settle the car down if the rear is loose with the 571/572 combo.
The 572 rear tire is hard to beat on asphalt.
