    These new drive tires feel pretty weird and squirrelly in curves. It feels almost as if the whole cab is yawing right or left even though i know it isn’t. Definitely feels unorthodox

    They’re all Bridgestones if that makes any difference

    That's what inch deep lug treads feel like until they wear down a little.

    It’s also been raining all morning which probably doesn’t help

    Brand new drive tires make the truck feel "less than surefooted". Its a combination of the tall tread blocks flexing side to side, and the tread is real smooth until it gets a bit of wear on it.

    it’s probably the flexing i’m feeling. I’ve never driven a truck with all 8 drives being brand new rubber so it feels very weird to me

    It will feel like you’re going to slide out on corners for the first couple days.
