How many miles are on the car and has any of the suspension ever been replaced?

I would recomend starting with a rotate, balance and an alignment.

Go get an alignment. I'm pretty sure that will help.

If you want high speed tires here is what the ratings actually stand for.

Oh yea and a Z rating isn't the best anymore.
