your not dealing with a normal wide tire when you have the spare on, so your steering is going to be a lil bit goofy, if it pretty much smoothen out your ride then you probably bent the wheel, while your at it... get some rims & tires to fit your taste!! or if you cant justify droppin that kinda money on wheels that are probably going to get scratched/stolen etc and on tires that are going to wear 300% faster, then just find someone who got new wheels n buy their old ones off of them
i also recommend having relatively new tires on a car most the time due to traction, mainly wet weather traction. older tires dont displace water as well, and from my point of view, is unacceptable. i feel you should at least be able to drive roads in the rain at normal speed limits and warning speeds in the curves, doesnt mean you HAVE to, but i feel you should have the performance in your tires to be ABLE to, same thing with braking in the rain... -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!
