Drag radial help!
So this weekend I put on my 315/35/17 BF Goodrich Dr's. I ran the car from a low roll through the gears and they stuck good. I noticed that when I was cruising on the interstate if i moved the wheel a little bit back and forth the back-end feels weird, like I'm driving a big *** truck. I don't know if my shocks are shot, or if the sidewall on DR's is soft so it is causing it to feel like it does. Can anyone help me out?

My Mickey Thompson radial feel the same way. I think it has to do with the sidewall being softer than a normal tire. Just put a little more air in the tires, that should help it out a little.

Thanks man, it's my first set of dr's so I didn't know what to expect. I'm getting new shocks and springs soon anyways but at first I was like wtf. It just felt sloppy back there.

Yep..same issue..so much so I sold mine. More air pressure will help but it feels worse on the M6's especially shifting gears (power on and off) while turning or swerving. Good luck.
