Was advised by the garage that when I had my rear quarter tyre replaced due to a puncture to have another new one (Same Make of tyre etc..) on the opposite side to keep the tread wear the same. And thus keep the car balanced as it is a 4 wheel drive car, and having differernt tred and makes of tyre was not a good thing.

If the steering is strange check the tyre pressures. Flighty/light might mean over inflated.
Just had two new ones on the missus car, checked pressures and one was 28psi the other 34psi - seems the tyre place wasn't too fussy lol. Put them both to the correct 31psi and even she noticed the difference in steering straight away.
