problem acceleratig from a stop
so i have this problem. i got the car like a month or so ago but didn't have this problem til recently. well recently i ordered new tires and had them mounted on the oem 19 inch rays and the guy didn't really seem to know what he was doing. (he mounted one of the rear tires on the front and i had to correct him) anyways i dunno if that has anything to do with the problem
okay so from a stop like if i'm at a red light if i try to accelerate i feel a little jolt and vibration as if the rear brake is still holding on for a second while i'm accelerating. i don't know if this is related to mounting the new tires or if the guy could've messed something up when mounting them. also my brake rotors are a little rusted but i didn't have this problem til after mounting the new tires. and the problem didn't arise when i drove away from the garage that mounted my tires either it happened like a day or two later. any ideas?
it's an 05 6mt coupe if it matters

Just throwing out some ideas...
Make sure you have the correct tires sizes: 225/40/19 front and 245/40/19 rear for the OEM 19's.
If you got tires with unidirectional treads then make sure none of them were installed backwards on the wheel.
Shops are notorious for tightening your lugs to He-Man torques. I would remove each wheel and check to make sure nothing is binding behind it. Then reinstall with a torque wrench. Be sure to tighten the lugs in a star pattern and to the correct torque (80 ft-lbs).
If you put the car in neutral and roll it forward do you notice any vibration, binding, etc?

Turn off your VDC. It will cause your car to bog down by trying to gain traction. (little button beside your trunk release on the left side of the steering wheel)
