Hankook tire handling question

Had the falken 452 not good off the line but for corners/handling they seemed great.

Now I have(just installed) hankook v12\'s size 265/30-19
Traction off the line much better but noticed going 60 mph the slightest turn of the wheel and back end sways like drag bfg drag radials

Im guessing that\'s why it\'s better off the line cause of soft sidewall
Just seems a bit much seeing how they\'re 30 series

Anyone else notice this??

Air pressure 33 psi when installed I upped it to 37 and it\'s not much better
Any thoughts??
Thanks

yep and turn in is sloppy. Wait awhile, they do seem to break in and do get better. I finally settled on 38 psi front, 36 psi rear in the same size.

Cool thanks for info

I really noticed it when getting off hwy long slow turning exit ramp I used to take at high speed.

Yesterday scared myself.... felt like the tires were flat so much movement.
Anyway thanks now I know I'll get used to them
