Default sc400 handling strange

so i was drivng home from vancouver BC to seattle WA at11pm at nite, i was driving 70-75 (speed limit w 70) and all of a sudden my car started swerving first to the right then to the left! to the point where i was crapping myself, it was quick and fast but it still scared me to death,

so my question was why it did that? was it because of the road, the road seemed fine to me,

maybe my tires suck,im running 18's

did my ex put on my rims wrong, (left on right or something)?

im going back up for vancouver pride tomorrow and dont want it to happen agaain.

i will take pics first thing in the morning of my tires for ya to see

if you have directional tires, it should be stamped on the side w/ an arrow pointing at the right way its suppose to spin.

after the initial swerving did it stop? or continue all the way? if it was just that one time, it could have just been the road.
