18" bfg drag radials...anyone have a problem?
Ok, Im running as set of bfg 315/30/18" drag radials on the back of my s10.
Stretched on a 10" rim, but no problems with that so far.
Yet, since I put these new wheels/tires on my truck(changing nothing else), my truck gets squirrelly in corners. At above like 50 mph, I'll get some sway if Im cornering, or even like whipping out around a car to pass them.
It will not do it, on straight aways, and full throttle runs. Only when cornering at higher speeds.
Has anyone noticed anything even close to this, with these tires? I havent had a chance to pull the rear suspension apart yet and check everyting over. Been redoing the front suspension, and upgrading my brakes yet again.
These hook like a mother on the street. Will usually hook from a roll in 1st and 2nd now, where it used to be useless through 3rd gear, even from a higher roll. Should I suspect the tires, or that I've toasted some part of the rear suspension?
Thanks.

Well my trucks far from stock. And I never had a problem before this. I put my old 18's on the back, and it didnt seem to do it. But, wont push it as hard with those on the back because they're much narrower and a harder(cheaper) tire.
What I've been working on now to improve it even more.
