Why does my car sway from side to side when I reach 35 mph?

This just started today. I had two used tires installed on the front yesterday. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I hold the steering wheel straight but it still sways.

No, there is no vibration or shaking. I can feel it swaying. I have to hold the steering wheel to keep it in the lane.

If you just got some used tires I would suspect the tires. Have you looked at the tires to see if there seperating etc?
