DWS06+ poor handling/mixing tire brands in general

So I have a 2015 535i, For the last 25k miles i have been running a full set of michelin pilot sport 4 all season tires. My setup is staggered and it came time for new rear tires. I opted to buy 2 continental DWS06+ tires instead of the michelins. The car has the M sport suspension and has always handled well. since putting the contis on the back the car has felt very floaty in the turns and feels like it wants to wander at high speeds on the interstate. Ive run the DWS06+ tires in the past (but always in a set of 4) and never had these issues. Are the contis the problem or is the problem that I have mixed tire brands/tread patterns? The contis have about 3000 miles on them so i know they are "broken in".
