I need tires!
#31
I only noticed the steering issue after I had installed the springs. Then I had it aligned by TunerTodd which improved. But, the painted lines in the road definitely grab the car and will add the sensation of a better grip of reality is now a necessity. Be careful while in the triple digits.

Be very careful at high speeds especially in the rain. You have more tread now so it grabs better than worn out tires. It should go away as your tires wear down a little and you get used to it.
I can't say enough that you have 320 tread wear and they will last a long time but overall you will not get the same grip as your softer compound tires you had.
I checked at a tire dealer and the thread wear count is a DOT standard throughout all tire brands. That is why I am going with a softer compound.
If you drive your car alot as primary transportation you what tires like you bought if you only drive it 8-10k a year for fun them you want softer sticker tire.
No lesson here, Just be careful until you find the limits of the tires. Their limit may be past yours depending on how you drive. My tires handled fine for me with a good tread and 300 tread ware. I just loose traction because of the Turbo.
That's a problem I can live with!!

yeah I thought he was appropriate for the time being
Cool pics. How are they as pets really though. Rodent teeth scare the shizzle out of me. I have had chunks taken out of me by various rodentia throught the years.
