I just put new springs and struts on front and driving on wet ground and snow it felt like i was skidding. It felt like I didn't have control of car. It was like the front end was up higher and the tires weren't touching the ground. Im taking the car back into shop on Saturday. They told me it could be bad tires. Could that be true. Please help me.

Thank you Jason

Was the car aligned after these repairs?

That needs to be done ASAP. Changing the springs and struts changed the height of the car, which in turn changes the wheel alignment
