My new wheel/tire setup feels"Squirmy". Is this a characteristic of staggered wheels or Eagle F1s?

WOW! My brother's car does that since he got F1s on his E30... Anyone else do that? I hate it
but they're supposedly great tires.
In hard turns, it feels like the tires shift on the rims, right?!?!
(Is that the same thing yours are doing?)

My buddy complained of the same thing
with the grooves you drive on being so narrow, it gives the rubber the ability to flex and bend over. he ended up having to run much higher psi than normal

Feel great so far...other than this. I could(will have to)live with this I guess.

How deep was the tread on the tires you just took off?
My S03s were down to nothing on the front so I expected to feel some extra squirm with the F1s since I wasn't used to having any tread. Sure enough it was there, felt like walking on thick carpet, that kind of odd floating feeling. Anyway. after a few weeks on the car they've either broken in or I have, don't notice it at all. So far I've been very happy with the tires, quiet, good ride, seem to have great dry traction. Amazingly its been dry since I had them installed so I haven't played in the rain yet.
