Default What a difference rear tires make!!!

I replaced my rear tires back with S02's again, and wow, my car felt responsive again. I remember when I used to change lanes, the rear kinda took awhile to respond. After the tire replacemtent, its quick now. Now am I imagining this, or can this really happen? Oh, also, I have 13,000 miles and my front tires are really worn on the insides, but look good on the outside edges. Just an alignment issue?

your front tires might be over inflated causing a "ballooning" effect...check to make sure that the PSI is correct

I checked the air pressure in my tires, they are ok. However, the guy who changed out my rear tires could have checked and changed the front tire air pressures. I guess only time will tell, but again, what a difference.

If your tyres are wearing out on the inside, that means your alignment is setup to have negative camber. This helps cornering at the expense of tyre life. You can reduce this camber with an alignment to get more tyre life.
