Default Dodgy Steering

just got some alloys today and put them on my Corsa, they have low profile tyres.
the handling feels really odd. wen i go over a bump it feels reli sensitive on the steering and the car pulls to wichever way the road goes. is this normal?
ive been used 2 standard 15" wheels with no low profiles.
i feel like i need 2 hold the steering wheels tighter. is this just summin i need to get used to?

having low profiles would feel different

did you get them laser tracked and balanced?

if not i suggest you do and then they will feel right!!!!

yeah u will get that with low profile tyres as there's less air and rubber to soften the impact of the road...
