2005 with 20,000 miles

[Rnj1]

My wife and I picked up a 2005 Convertible, nice inside and out, everything checked out on Autocheck, highest score we noted.

We off loaded it today, and it 'hunts' severely on these east texas roads. I do not recall my 1994 being so 'tricky'. On the interstate it was smooth, mild hunting in the truck lane, but otherwise, straight.
On the 2 lane roads, it is as Sven an Olie say, "It is is a yerking dis way an dat".. My querstion is: Normal or Need alignment???


Ideas??

Thanks

Rich

Them big wheels love following the grooves in the road

If it has original runflats, get rid of them. If tires are new, check pressures. Check alignment.

Thanks... I think they are original, will double check.. new tires NEVER hurt....

Great answer Steve, new tires made the difference.. Prior to new tires it was like fighting another entity with a mind to put me in the ditch or in another lane.. After new Michelin tires the car doesn't hunt.. Is a joy to drive..
