I hate to disagree, but yes, staggered tires do CONTRIBUTE to understeer. They of themselves will not CAUSE it, but given two cars which are identical, one square, and one staggered...the staggered one will tend to have more understeer.

I agree with the second part of the statement though...

Generally speaking, under/over steer is more readily controlled with anti-roll bars, more so than tire sizing.
