Summer tires mess up handling?

[Ed Kellock]

Have you checked the tire pressures?

Are the tires directional?  If so, are you sure they're all on
"pointed" in the right direction"

Have you tried to rotate them to see if the behavior changes/moves/goes away?

The difference in feel between your 2 sets of tires will most likely
be very noticeable even if everything is in order.  Wider/heavier is
going to be felt.

I know I almost always miss my snows for a while when I put my summers back on.
