When driving on a highway at 75, I constantly have to steer left or right, as car wouldn't just go straight, it slowly pulls to either side. And traction control kicks in at even slow speeds around bends. In simple terms, the car just feels wobbly. My last winter tire was Sottozero 2 that I was pretty happy with. But the new model is just undrivable. Is it because it is a taller tire (45 vs. 40) or because they are just really bad tires? Any ideas?

So I dug this up from a 2014 post but I am having a very similar issue. I do have an air bubble in my front right but I dont think that is the cause. I lose traction and the car tries to spin at low speeds around bends in the middle of the texas summer and just had two new tires replaced. Additionally I have the issue of the car suddenly trying to pull to one side especially during shifts. Any Ideas?
