weird front end issues. pleas help!!!

alright guys. i've been having an ongoing issue with my 84 camaro for a while and i want it solved. I switched a pair of ugly craiger ss wheels that were on my car for a good looking pair of alluminum slots. ever since i did the swap the front tires of my car, might just be the front driver one, always screeches when i make a left turn. almost like it isnt getting traction or something.
another problem i'm having is that at low speeds. 5mph-20mph. the car kind of hobbles along. like it has a limp. lol. anyway. these issues annoy me to no extent and i'd like some help in solving them. do the wheels need balanced? do i need different tires. whats up?

Re: weird front end issues. pleas help!!!

all this happened after you swapped tires & rims . shouldn't that narrow down the problem area ? you either have bad tires , bent rim or both . used tires are like used condoms , you have no idea of their previous life . first jack up drivers side & spin wheel . if it does not rotate straight & true , there is your problem . (ck. both the wheel & tire) repeat with other side of car . good balanced wheels & are a no brainer . good luck .
