I had this issue for a while, through a couple of sets of tyres (A539's). I'd always lock the RH front while braking - even when I wasn't being agressive.
The advice above seems logical, ie.. brakes overwelming the tyres, however in my case the only thing that fixed it was:
- Replace and bleed brake fluid
- Pad change to Bendix Ultimates
This really helped, but when I replaced the rotors to new units, it fixed it completely. I can now pretty much stand on the brakes and the thing stops.
So maybe do some maintenance on them and see how that goes. As mentioned above, it's always a good idea to keep them maintained!

ad,
Had the same problem even with sticky DO1's the best cure is a brake bias valve kit around $175 from RAce Brakes then you can adjust the balance F to R. The NA6A's have much more front bias than later models
