Maintenance/Repairs

Hi. Great show. I have a question about my 2006 mercury Milan. It has the premier package with the 17 inch rims. I bought it new but had 4000 miles on it. They told me it was driven by the owner. The problem was when I first drove it in the rain. If I drove over the tar strips that are in the road the car would squirm. Then when it snowed and I drove it did the same thing. I drive 40 miles one way to work and all on the e-way. If there is one inch of snow or less really the car will just slide to one side or the other. I will only drive 30 and will get pasted by semi trucks and the car will just slide toward the passing semi until it catches and then jerks are heads. Then it might slide the other way. One time we were driving home and mind you going start under a over pass the car would just slide to one side. I am talking maybe like a foot or 2. It did this the hole way home. Every over pass I came to. I would slow down to 20 mph and cost and it still did it. I have put new different tire on it. I even tried to put sand bags in the trunk but nothing helps. Could it be a alignment issue or the tires being low profile and wide it sits on top of the snow. I have not checked the alignment because the tires do not wear funny. Need help please.
