so this was weird

On my lunch break today i took my eight to good ol chipotle and i recently put on my summer tires and wheels so i gunned her around a turn onto a main road and i lost my arrrss all over the place... swung left, corrected, then right, corrected and caught some grip... it was a nice feeling after keeping her settled down all winter... anyways i was in shock because i didnt turn the traction control off and i look down and i see the car swerving light on, thought it was just because well...i was swerving but then it didnt go off? hmm weird but didnt think to much of it... left the car on, went into chipotle, got my meal, came back and started driving back to work... when i was sitting at a light all of a sudden my radio turned off and came back in instantly.... weird.... then about 10 seconds later my car dies.. no warning, no rpm jump.. just dies... i start it right back up and drive to work, after i get off i started her up and she drove fine all the way home...

i am almost positive i need coils and they are already on the way via ups and should be here next week but im just wondering if this issue i ran into today could be coil related.... i know that in my dads truck the driver side window quit working one day, a year later he had to replace one of the coils and the window worked again... odd

coil related or should i be worried about other things?
