Installed Azenis rt615 in 255x40x17 on stock rims now car feels out of balance

I just went from a worn out set of advans to these tires. The grip seems very well however if I swirve back and forth the car feels a little out of balance. Im not sure if its b/ of the wider tires? I know the Azenis have a weaker sidewall....

My other possible reasoning

Air pressure im running 34f 32 rear
Stock wheels
im running hotckis springs would possibly adding the rear swaybar make the car feel more in balance I cant really tell if it feels like the rearend is stiffer than the front or if the frontend is stiffer than the rear. Any help would be apericiated

i run 42psi in the front and about 39psi in the rear. Also you might want to consider an alignment.

The AZENIS have about the stiffest sidewalls in existance.

The shop needed 140psi in the tire to seat the sidewall on the lip. It was crazy. They hated those tires as they took 30-40 min each to mount them.
