Sloppy winter tires
Hey all,
I am enjoying my second winter with my Impreza and seeing as the RE92 a)sucked and b) were dead I bought a set of winter tires and put them on 15 inch steal rims.
My question is this: The tires feel sloppy. Is this possibly due to the higher sidewall (195 65 15s vs 205 55 16s) or under/over inflation or is it that I have crappy tires?
I have BFGoodrich winter slaloms.
Any feed back would be much appreciated.

Seeing as nobody had any ideas I'll answer my own question.
By 'feeling sloppy' I was talking about the tires having a tendancy to roam and the car feeling very sensitive to side winds.
Turns out it was low air pressure. I bumped them back up to spec (albeit 205 55 r 16) spec and they feel much better. They still 'look' a little bit low and I'll bumb them up some more and see how that goes.
