I'm thinking the sway is because your running radials upfront and the bias-ply in the rear. I did some reading on it and some other people have the same problem mixing the two tire types. The bias-ply tires have a much softer sidewall compared to the radial.
Get some skinnies for the front or switch to drag radials and it should go away.

This is an excuse that rookies came up with a long time ago. The simple fact of the matter is that when it's your first time on slicks the car is going to feel funny on the top end of the track. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Honestly, the best way to get use to the feeling of the back of your car "walking around" when on slicks is to drive to the track on them. You will feel all the groves in the road with the rear tires, but not the fronts due to the weak bias ply side walls of the slicks. Over a little time you will get the feel of what is going on and start correcting for it. The reason I think its best to get use to this on the highway is that you are at speed, but not necessarily excelerating hard. It lets you get a feel for what is going on at a little slower pace.
JMI!

Could be a rookie thing that people complain about when running slicks. There might be some truth about it though too. Hey, it would make a good mythbusters episode.
I ran some slicks for the first time ever wednesday but I didnt feel any difference from my street tires on the top end. Mine are the MT drag radials. I only got 3 runs in before somebody decided to oil down the track though so I didnt get much testing on them.
