You have to pump them up to 36 psi - makes a huge difference!
There was a thread on it a while back and Toyo were contacted. Someone tipped me off and it really does work.

I switched from SO2's to Goodyear F1's and experienced similar problems. I hated the way the car drove.
It took about 1000 miles and an increase in pressures for the car to retrun to its normal surefooted self.

Not with this car, but I changed to Eagle F1's and they were terrible for the first 1,000 miles. However, once they were scrubbed up and bedded in, they were awesome.
Given Toyo's reputation, I reckon you just need tp let them bed in a bit.

They'll still handle a lot better than S02s in the wet.
Stupid question, but have you checked that all four tyres have the rotational arrows pointing in the same direction ?

That Advice would b me MB , they are softer than the SO2 this has been done to death so no point in going over very old ground. 36PSI does restore most of the balance but they will never be like So2's for stiffnes.
Their compound and the number of tread blocks means that when new do add to the wobble. 500 miles is needed to get them into their zone. They are excellent wet , greasy and dry tyres but there is an excepted trade off in tyre movement
As they wear in they do get better
