hey guys
ive been noticing in my car, that when i go over, say, a rough road, bumps and such, they really control my car. as in, the steering wheel jerks and stuff, not like im out of control but u definatly gotta hold the wheel i bit firmer. is that because of the 17's and my tires? or is something wrong? thanks --------------------  |

Try switchin over to 205/45/17 the next time u get new tires. The 45 has an extra height of 5". this is crap advise.... a 45 series tire wall DOES NOT have and extra 5 inches of sidewall... stick with a 215/40/17 its a perfectly fine tire (a 205/40/17) won't hurt either personally i used a 35 series on my 17s and my 18s the push and pull on your steering wheel your experiencing means your going too fast over something enough to make wat ever you hit push the car...slow down before you break something.. |
