Me and the OP had a lot of luck not to bite the dust when tires blew, so I'm probably going to the safe side - riding another tire. And yes, city tire feels quite abrupt and twitchy when pushed to the limit when cornering and especially leaning into the turn. So I'm not the only one who felt that. Thanks for your input.
I wouldn't blame you. Can't say that I wouldn't do the same if it happened to me.
Also, for me, that feeling didn't so much feel "twitchy". For me, it felt more like how a low-air tire grips the asphalt. When I think I have a low tire in the back, I usually do some light slaloming to determine if it actually is - I generally know right away if it's low by how it grabs when I slalom. The CiTY's give that sort of feeling when they're full (that's how I first noticed it, actually). It's really pretty bizarre. Took forever to get used to. I kept thinking I was low all the time, then would discover when I got home that it was fine.
