Default ap1 > ap2v1

I just purchased some ap2v1 and put then on. The car would swerve hard to the left when reaching vtec. I know the rims and tires have been sitting for a while before I purchased them because of spider webs and how dirty they were. The front tires are different from the rears. Any advise? Imma check the tire pressure tomorrow and have them balanced.

Maniac got it. Tires are hosed probably and alignment can be effected by tire pressure and wear.balance maybe.but best bet get a quality set of 215/45/17 front and 245/40/17 or even better IMHO 255/40/17 for the rear

The tire shop found a small chunk missing from the rear driver side. They said this causes the right side of the car to gain more traction and out-power the left, thus causing heavy steering. I'm just gonna take these off for now and have them polished while running stock ap1 wheels. Thanks you guys.
