That's good to know. I know if the car is lowered that is most definitely the case.
I didn't experiment with the rears, I know the fronts are limited to zero toe. The rear didn't look like they could be adjusted to toe out, and most manufacturers prevent that anyway.

They are bridgestone potenza S-04 pole position XL front and rear. I have to wait until Monday to take It back to the shop.

The only thing that should be effected by the tires sizes is the camber right? And that shouldn't make the car squirrely. So from what I'm gathering it has to be toe, or somethings loose?

You went with a tire that is less sticky than stock but it is on all 4 corners so that shouldn't prove to be a problem.

Chaning tires to a larger size doesn't have any significant effect on camber, yes it sounds like the toe is off or not locked down.
