Post subject:  New tyres odd cornering

Just had my rear BFG's a/t replaced by new ones and I'm experiencing some odd behaviour in corners.
When I steer into a bend at 50-60 Miles an Hour, halfway through it feels that the rear slowly comes out a bit and I need to correct my steering as I'm suddenly cutting the corner too tight.
My KJ feels a bit restless at the rear as if the rear swaybar is disconnected
Could it be that the BFG's have to be worn in a bit as the edges are still too sharp (I looked at the front ones and the edges are roundish by now 35.000 Miles)

its most likely tread squirm due to new, long treadblocks

Thanks jcphoto20!

I was thinking/hoping in the same direction.

I think because I only changed the rear tyres the effect is more noticable than after changing all 4 of them.

Thanks again!
