sloppy handling characteristics after tire change

are they mismatched tires? new tires definitely have a different feeling since thread blocks are newer. i went from the stock yoko advan sport's all around, to continental extremecontact dw's

i went from the stock yoko advan sport's all around, to continental extremecontact dw's in the rear. the car was unstable as **** and felt like it would dart off to the left or right at speeds over 50mph. i swapped out the front yoko's for matching extremecontact's and it instantly felt better, but still not as stable until about 1000 miles in.
