I have not had this problem. I attribute this fact to my intelligence, something very clearly lacking in your case. I am smart enough to spend the money on quality tires.

Not since last Friday when I got new Firestone tires. The car becomes unstable at 100 mph so I only drive 100 mph now. Has anyone else experienced this with Firestone tires?

I'll ignore the fact that you're driving like a complete fucktard and focus on the tires- traditionally, there's a layer of mold release on the tires that takes a while to burn off. Until this happens, the tires feel slippery. Also, those are all-season tires. If you replace summer tires with all-seasons, it will not handle as well.

Thanks. I hope that is what is happening here.

I am not able to ignore the fact that the OP is a complete fucktard. I tried, I failed.

What kind of moron drives like this on the road? Daily?

That said, he has further proven his intelligence by purchasing Firestone tires, which are about the worst tire possible. They make Hankooks look good.
