i went from the stock yoko advan sport's all around, to continental extremecontact dw's in the rear. the car was unstable as **** and felt like it would dart off to the left or right at speeds over 50mph. i swapped out the front yoko's for matching extremecontact's and it instantly felt better, but still not as stable until about 1000 miles in.

same tires all around. nitto neogen's. me and my roommate were spittballing ideas this morning and thought that they may just need to break in. with the car being lowered, and these tires not being worn consistantly for the negative camber it might have something to do with the odd feeling at first

i thought of this, but nitto states that the tires are not directonal. but at the dealer we switched sides anyways just to make sure. felt a little better, but not a whole lot.
we are thinking they may be slightly slippery or greasy until properly scrubbed in. could that, combined with a perfectly square tire on a car with SLIGHT negative camber, make for some odd handling characteristics for the first couple hundred miles?
