It's not the tyres that are the problem. It'll be your technique. It's a bit much to expect to be any good after 1 ride! Most of us improve over many years.
The best way to improve is to do lots of miles with more experienced riders. Joining and riding with a club is a good way to do this.
There are plenty of articles online about fast descending etc. There are some tips I remember being helpful...
