'97 SL2 seems to drift

My daughter's '97SL2 seems to drift at 60+MPH. It has almost new Goodyear Integras on the front and goodyears in the rear with maybe 15000 miles on them. Everything seems tight underneath but i'm not a mechanic. It feels like if you were in a vehicle pulling a trailer that was maybe a little too heavy for the tow vehicle. It's worse in the wind of course but wind isn't the cause of it. It rides smooth but drifts. I keep both hands on the wheel when I drive it. It doesn't jerk but sort of drifts. My daughter is just 16 and I don't want her driving it on the highway til I can fix it. Anyone have any idea what is causing this or how to remedy it? Much thanks in advance.....justbob

Take it in for a front wheel alignment. They will check everything and if they find something wrong, they will tell you what it is.

Re: '97 SL2 seems to drift

I believe I had Integras on a car for a short while. I found them to be terrible tyres. Those tyres, on that car were a joke. They were terrible in any wind, not to mention rain, or even or even nice weather. But they did keep the bumpers from dragging.
Did the car drift before the tyres were installed? Try the newer tyres on the rear, and see if the drifting changes.
As for toe-in, I think the spec is for very little toe-in, to get slightly better mileage,and less stability. But a little more would help.
