Has nothing to do with your tire pressures or seed ratings. It's just the mixed tires front to rear. Nitto's don't seem to play nice with others.

I had my rear 345 nitto's installed a week before I installed the fronts. The car felt like it wandered A LOT, like at a dangerous level. Sometimes it felt like it would dart in one direction or another for no reason. Very scary. When the fronts went on, the problem just disappeared and now the tires feel great! Get the front to match, you will love them.

Like PL said, new tires are always slippery with mold release agent. And the tread height is new (10/32" !). I have had exactly the same experience time and time again, when changing only rears and with the same tire that was on before.

The last set of rear PS2's I put on my M3 took almost 800 miles to lose that tail wagging while doing quick lane changes at similar speeds. Got to wear off the release agent and sand down the tread height a little.

I pulled 1g less than 5 miles from the shop where they were installed. after +- 100 miles, I managed a 1.07g. Stock base sizes--ride very nice, handle nice, very quiet....less than a grand installed. Best deal available for our cars IMO.
