Default alignment issues

Hello I have a issue with alignment or something. The Z as 66,000 plus miles just had car lowered 1/4 or so new invos on back and f1 on front that are going to be replaced buy end of the week. Pick the car up on Monday from the tuner and drove home about 150 miles away. The car was all over the place as you would imagine it needed a alignment. So that what i did this morning. Well I got a call about 12:30 and he said that they had aligned the car but the thing was driveing like it was on ice. the front of the car will just dart from white line to center strip and back again with out hardly moving the wheel right or left. Yes its grabing the grove of the hwy but not like you would think it should act like. It would start dart back an forth on a straight line till you got off the gas and let the car slow down with out hiting the brakes. Any insight would greatly apprecated.

the older F1s in front are part of the problem.

Check the tie rods to see if they are tight.

But normally different tires even different age of the same tire will cause what you are describing
