Default Bought some..

Rims and tires over the weekend off craigslist. ZR1 rims wrapped in sumitomo htrz ii tires with about 80% left on them.

I had stock wheels, with very bald tires previously.

Installed them yesterday, and today when I took my gf to work, the ride felt rough. It was shaking a little bit at 40mph. Braking seem rough too. It's also swerving to the left, but that's just the alignment.

Any help guys? I know NOTHING about wheels, and tires of any of that so be nice.

Thanks

Did you check the air pressure? Also, did you have the wheels balanced?

It's pretty common to have a slightly rougher ride, if you went from a 16" wheel to a 17" wheel.
