HELP!!! Steering wheel/tire problem!!

Hey guys, i just recently got some rota rims with kumho 712 205/45/16. And when im going at slow speeds my steering wheels starting movie strongly to right or left. Does anyone else feel this problem? IS there a soloution to this? Thanks!!

what were your orginal tires... could just be the contours of the road are being felt more ... do yuou have power steering??

when I switch from the stock rims on my car 175/60/13 (I think) to the r compouind for racing (215/50/13) I do notyice a harder time turning and a pull in different directions when going over contours in the road
