Check the tire pressure already and report back

Performance isn't every S owner's top concern whether you, I or anyone else agrees.

True, but there are so many other compromises in the car as a daily driver, that most owners wouldn't want to deal with, if they weren't interested in high performance. But, most owners now, especially on this forum didn't pay $35,000 for the car.

Just go to any discount tire or other tire place. They'll check and adjust your pressure for free.

I switched from summer tires to allseasons because the summer tires I had were garbage in winter, even in the short/mild winters we get here. Summer tires exhibit a quite dangerous lack of grip when the weather's below 65 or so, in my experience.

Good, because they are notoriously inaccurate and inconsistent.

i had similar problem check your alignment...if off it may just be alignment and if you cant get it in spec then you have a bent control arm

Tire pressure gauges are quite affordable. I have this $10 one and it works very well for me.

so today, i found out that all my tire pressure are 32 psi. Maybe its the alignment? This situation im having only happens when i run more than 80mph. Car moves towards the left when i hit the gas, and releasing the gas pedal the car moves to the right.
