Default Loose back end?
Hey, ever since I got my tires replaced my car feels looser in the back after a turn, almost like a wobble. Does anyone know what would cause that? The wobble isn't big but it wasn't there before.

Wheels aren't fully bolted on. Try tightening the lugs.

if they are brand new then there is a thin "film" or "skin" that the manufacturer puts on them that makes their tires feel extremely slick for the first 100 miles or so.

its used for getting the tires out of the molds...and I think its closer to 500 miles before its totally gone.

You're probably right if it's just city driving and such,

Are the tire pressures good?

Did you get new wheels as well? Wheel could be bent.
