Side to side movement

krisinchi05blacksti · 12-05-2006, 05:05 AM

After I switched to blizzaks on my '05 I noticed a slightly disconcerting side to side jerking (haha, spare me the jokes) whenever I go over a bridge on the way home from work. It feels like wheel power pulses from side to side. The bridge is the steel grid road type (think Chicago style drawbridge). Any ideas? I posted here instead of tire because it seems more of an AWD question.

Probably has something to do with the fact that snow tires have considerably less grip and mushier sidewalls compared to the stock RE070's.
