Has anyone experienced problems with their steering? Mine feels awful light and skittish at times. The car is all over the road. I took it to the dealer and had them check it out. They say it's tire related.

Sometimes if I turn the steering wheel back and forth quickly a few times, it seems to go away. However, I had goodyears up front and Sumitomo HTRs in the back (goddamn nail in the sidewall had to replace rear tires) and recently bought 2 new Sumitomos to replace the goodyears. Do you think it's the tires? The dealer wouldn't say why it would be the tires, just that it's a characteristic of Sumitomos. Thoughts?
