and to your liking and driving style. Most cars come from the factory with the propensity to understeer. This is the easiest for the majority of drivers to handle and you don't end up pointing the wrong direction if you lose it. Many enthusiast drivers prefer a car that handles neutrally or even prefers oversteer.
As you modify your car with shocks, springs, swaybars etc, the handling characteristics will change, and you will have to re-tune the system to handle the way you want with the new parts.
Tires are one part of the system. A good baseline to start at is having the same tire on all four wheels. If you find yourself oversteering badly, maybe you need more tire in the back. Adjusting damping, springs and swaybars affects handling as well, but at least in my mind those should be used to fine tune a system that is already close. There are many more factors that come into play, but tuning handling is a very deep rabbit hole.
