I occassionally turn it off when its safe to but I do expect to be able to put the foot down in a straight line and accelerate smoothly when it's bone dry and there's no wheel spin.

I wouldn't expect it either, this is wrong, never in a straight line. I would expect this if I got on the gas a little too soon.

It's nothing to do with the tyres, there's no wheelspin and no loss of traction.

The Vred's are infinitely better than the piss poor stock Potenzas
