Default ?'s on swapping tires

Anyways, I the weather is finally starting to warm up around here so I decided to swap the stock so2's back on my stock rims. Afterwards, my car is driving real funny..it's pulling to the right sometimes, then to the left other times..everything is feeling really twitchy..do you guys think an alignment will solve all of this?? thx for any info!

In the past there have been posts where the tire shop put one rear on the front. Check to see if the fronts and rears are correct. It is easy to mount a front tire on a back rim.

the oem s02's are uni-directional so perhaps you've got the right tires on the front and back, but you also have to get the correct left and right, otherwise your tires are facing backwards (treadwise).

Check the air pressure too. If one tire is low, it will pull to that side. If you are on a crowned road, it could appear to pull randomly.
