new tires and car feels loose

Hey guys I just got some new Yokohama S drive on my stock 19's, 265 in the back and 245 in the front. For some reason after driving I feel that when I take corners the car rolls more now, before on my old fuzions zri (245 rear 225 front)the car would glue itself to the road during a turn and not budge but now I feel like it rolls a little bit. I didnt get an alignment yet after putting on the tires im wondering if thats the reason or because of the softer sidwalls on these tires? Thanks guys.

New tires have a film on them from the factory...New tires need to be broken in as well. The first few miles will seem this way (as mine did KDWv2). Once I drove them around a bit, they actually stuck to the road better than the oem tires (bridgestones).

Dont worry, start driving them and they will get better.

Also check the air pressure. If they have softer sidewalls, you may have to run them 2-4 psi higher than the door-jamb recommendation.

thanks guys, i'll update after alignment and break in period, I was just tripping that the size was too big for the stock 19's and the tire was rolling around (if thats possible) but I know alot of guys on here run that size.
