New tires, twitchy handling characteristics
I recently had a vehicle inspection and was informed that my bridgestones on my rear tires were too bald to pass inspection. This unfortunately, in Germany is an extremely time sensitive matter because without an inspection you cannot renew your registration and the MP's will come take your plates, it is also illegal to own an unregistered vehicle in Germany. As a result I was forced to quickly buy some tires to resolve this issue, Not positive on the specs as i'm up in my office at the moment. Anyways at higher speeds of 180kmh and up the vehicle becomes fairly twitchy and the vehicle finds itself floating left and right, this is as you can imagine is highly unnerving and has put a damper on my favorite pastime of bombing the autobahn at 250kmh. Any ideas on what a change in tires could cause this? the tires are rated to 168mph and seem to fit my myo8 the same as my bridgestones did, could they have inproperly balanced the tires? or could my alignment have been messed up in the process? I am hoping its not just because the tires are garbage because i just bought a supercharger and was wanting to wait to replace them until i had pulled some money together for some new shoes. Any input would be greatly appreciatted.
thanks

What tires, specifically? Have you broken them in yet?
