Wide front tires

After I changed my wheels, (they are all 10" btw) I put 265/35/19 fronts and 285/30/19 rears, the car is now harder to control, I can feel it.

Is it a typical problem when we put wider front tires? Or is something else wrong?

yes, the grooves in the roads are formed to smaller tires, so when you have the wider tires, they dont fit in the grooves and it sucks--i hate my truck and car wheels b/c of it

The car will be harder to control over bumps its part of the reality of wide tires. Just pay attention when you are driving and you will get used to it

It also has to do with the offest, if the center of the tire changes from the stock location.

the bigger the front tire you run the worse its going to follow road grooves. The offset will help if its centered.
