I would say go to a more streetable front tire, I run bfg's up front with hoosier dr's in the back and it handles great. Also why dont you put your rims and tires on a buddies car and drive it to see if the problem happens on his car if not then you know you have a suspension problem of some kind.

I am willing to bet that the softer case construction of having drag radials in the front is just amplifying this effect.
oh ur right, i was thinking it didnt sound right when i was typing it, but i couldnt figure a word for it.

I have not for the life of me figured out the how or why people are so confused with tire sizing. I have literally had numerous heated arguments with people telling me the aspect ratio was the width

Probably a carryover from the old system. An F60-15 equals a 235/16/15. The number in that scenario is the aspect ratio. It is not however a percentage like we are accustomed to.
