You likely need an alignment. Make sure you use less toe in than 
originally specified. I don't know which BFG tire you have but I don't 
think that is your problem. If the car doesn't have a factory air 
dam/spoiler, that will help. You may actually have too much air in the 
front (I don't like this size tire because it has too little tread on 
the road) since you seem to have the floating feeling. Try putting about 
100 pounds in the trunk and take it for another drive. If this car does 
not have quick steering you may always feel a little lightness in the 
front end.
