I put my 205-50-15's on yesterday and ever since then my car pulls very bad under boost and also above 80mph. I took it to get aligned today and it was perfect. I've tried tire pressure from 36psi to 49psi. Also under light throttle it feels very jerky. I'm about to put on my roommates wheels and tires and see if it goes away. Has anyone else had this problem?

 

I just put mine on yesterday. This sounds obvious but make sure they are mounted right, and all the tires say "outside" on the outside. the continous strip (it's a rain channel) should be on the inside of the car. I thought yesterday that Falken had sent me 4 tires instead of a set, since my left tires have the tread facing a different way than the rights.

This sounds just like the problems I had after my accident...car pulls to the left on acceleration and above 80mph. Take it to a racing-type shop and get it aligned there. My Acura dealer said my alignment was perfect, when my front wheels were actually toed out a total of 30-something degrees. A racer=friendly shop put it on the nice Hunter machine and straightened the car out.

 

on the ITR, I put 34psi all around and it seems to work just fine. I'm not sure what your problem can be though. If it just started happening recently.

 

The 450's solved the problems. Now I have to decide between more SO3's, T1s's, or drag radials. The azenis are for sale. We put the Azenis on my roommates JDM ITR hatch and they feel pretty good. I guess my car didn't like them.

 

I have them on my car and i hve no problems, same size (boosted and all)

also when you put them on your roomates car did you put the wheels/tires in the same position as on your car (left front, right front etc) that could be a factor as well.

What the hell are you going up to 49 psi for? Cant you read 44psi max. For street driving, leave it at 30-32 all the way around. And yeah, differences between left and right tire pressures can cause veering to the left or right. But theres no reason to go above 44.

 

i think it says 54 psi max
i go 36f 34 r personally on the street and 40f 39r on the track with mine

 

Pulls bad? Are you talking about torque steer?
