Default thin tyre poor steering


On my new muni (Koxx frame + 26" Alex D32 rim) I have mounted a light
(850 g) WTB Timberwolf 2.7 foldable tyre. When riding it on low pressure
it is very heavy to make turns. When inflated so the tyre is hard I can
steer all right but at the slightest obstacle the muni bounces me off.

Have I bought the wrong tyre? Would a tyre with thicker walls be easier
to steer at low pressure? Or is it a matter of practice?
