Someone please help meee!

I just got my Work Meister S2R's fitted and my stook handles like c r a p. I must admit, I didn't have time to have a wheel alignment (I will on Sat). But, is this normal. My stook oversteers like hell!!

Is it the pressures, alignment or what?

I'm so dissapointed. Can anyone please help.

Should'a bought Adrenalins. Actually I'm just jealous 'cause I couldn't afford Work Wheels.

You shouldn't need an alignment after fitting wheels. Sounds more like a pressure issue.

What tyres did you get?

Hey Aus,

They're 18" Work S2Rs with Falkan GR-Betas. I'm running about 32PSI all round. Is this normal? It's just hanging it's ass out everywhere...

I'm running Falkens and not having a problem.

is 32 a bit low? Try 36 and see if it changes.

Maybe it's due to the righthand drive.

Hey Chowbox. At that pressure is the ride real harsh? Have you lowered you stook with the S2Rs?

Another thing I thought of late last night. The tyres are new and are not yet run in.

When tyres are moulded they use a lubricating compound in the mould so the rubber doesn't stick. Some of this is embedded in a thin layer of rubber on the new tyre. It can take up to 200Km to run in a set of tyres.

Am I speaking the truth is is this jus BS. I'm sure I read it somewhere.
