Its called tramlining and the Z is known for that. Wider tires will tend to have this effect.
Make sure your tires do not need changing (low tread) and that they are the same, or at least have the same tread pattern.

When I bought my Z, the dealer had put on some cheap rear tires (forgot the brand) and I had my OEM 9x18 wheels. The difference in the tread pattern caused my car to 'wobble'. It felt like you were driving in hurricane wind conditions. I got a new set of tires, and it drove fine with minimal tram lining. Also, get your alignment done!
