Poor handling with new Hankook 19.5's - anyone else?

The Goodyear G670 rears had rivered badly and had little tread after 33k so I replaced the four with Hankook 245/70R19.5 A11's.

The RV felt really squirmy in the back, like the sidewalls flexed way too much. Turn the wheel to the right and it feels like the rear is sliding to the left.

After 4,000 miles and at different pressures it still feels squirrelly, and my wife agrees (I guess there's a first time for everything).

I had to replace the two fronts even earlier and the replacement Bridgestones felt fine (although they won't win any beauty contest).

Anyone else felt the same with this size Hankook lately?

Thanks

John
