New Tires
 
I just changed my tires for a lower profile 195/50/15 instead of 60s. Now the steering wheels is extremely light and the car feels unstable at high speeds. The car is pretty low already and then i put on the lower profile, could that be why? Or is it that i need an alignment. Another thing it might be that im riding on stock shocks. Somebody help. Why does it woble like that when i try to change lanes on the highway??

How low is it? Stock shocks cant handle much of a drop at all. It almost sounds to me like you may have blown one or more.

Does it do a kinda sway feeling?

exactly. its feels exttremely loose. first i thought it was alignment, but ima get some shocks now.

Thats where I would start.. Then get it aligned after the shocks.:yes:

aiight thanx.

Yeah you're going to need an alignment since you have affected the geometry of the suspension with the lower total diameter wheel+tire combo.

But if your shocks are blown, as RR suggested get that fixed first.
