i just got new tires put on a couple days ago, i got an alignment done at the same time, but when i drive it on the freeway, it starts swaying side to side. my car isnt really lowered or anything, ihave stock ITR springs and the tires are kumho 711 on rota C8's if that helps... anyone have this problem? is it just because theyre new?

 

was it windy outside....?

Seriously I laughed but I couldn't think of any other reason why this would happen.

 

What do you mean swaying? Is it wandering? like following the strips?

 

did you go and get your tires aligned and stuff like that my twins lancer was doing the same thing when he put his 17s on so he went them balanced and **** like that stoped teh problem later

 

did u get the tires balanced?

 

C8's =
kumho 711 =

why did u get such crappy tires, kumho 711 are crap, sure they are cheap, i have kumho 712 on my backs and dunlop sp sports on my front, i will never ride on kumho's in my front ever agian, dunlops are so much better then kumho's.

There are better ones then dunlops but for the price they kill kumho's

 

balance is to make tires not vibrate... see if ur tierod end is loose and tierod balljoint.. it also might sway if tires are worn uneaven... if not bring the car back and complain.. most likely it tie rod end.

 

I would say it is weak sidewalls on the tires letting them bend side to side, making the car sway

 

Take it back to the alignment shop and tell them what's happening. They're not perfect, maybe they did something wrong. My car did that when the front wheels were toe'ed in too far.
