Default WTF, car is all over the place WOT abobe 100MPH

So when I do WOT pulls and I am just north of 100mph, the f@#king car is all over the road, to the point where I almost swerve into the opposite lane, it is really bad. I just got two new rear tires, I saw them balance them, what the F? Is it possible that my alignment is off that much?

^ Yea, it is by far the closest I have been to killing myself. The car feels like it is floating and just swerving on it's on. I almost hit a really nice Turbo Porsche, lol

Does it pull to the side when you let off or gas it? Air pressure? Wheel bearing or brakes causing drag on one or more wheels? Strange.

I just looked at the rims, I dont think they balanced them, there are no F---- Weights on the inside of the rim..................F--- Bootleg place, going back next week, I would imagine that's it

Mine is somewhat the same but the rims are balanced. Different fronts than rears though. It's not pulling hard to one side or another but doesn't feel great when I accelerate. What kind of tires did you get?

I have very good shape Bridgestone RE-01Rs up front and brand new RE-11's. Although I cant seem to find the direction they are supposed to be pointed in (rotations wise), it just asys "outside" but thats is............

I have never ran into this issue before on a S2000 but i know on my M3 its very sensitive to having different tires front and back. I have seen a lot of people change to new rears and having used fronts and have this issue.

how long have you had them on? when you get new tires, they need to break in a little due to a compound on the tires.
