My teg is only lowered about 1.25" w/o camber correction and when I was running stock size tires 195/60-14 it was fine. Every once in a while it'd follow a groove in the road and pull the steering wheel. I recently switched to 205/45-16's which are a bit over an inch wider, the car follows grooves much more now. It's mainly noticable on the freeway in certain areas of my commute. Has anyone else had this after they switched to wider tires?

 

my car did it when i had my eibach prokit and stock 195/55/15"s and the same now with h&r sports with 205/50/15...

 

i dont have a drop yet, but i have 17's on 205-40-17's and it pulls alot more, mainly cuz you have more traction because your riding on a wider surface area then be4.. took me a while to get used to it, but now im all good

still pulls side to side on un-even roads.. but im fine with it

 

better steering response

i have hr sport w/ 205/40/16

 

Mine does it. Lowered on race springs and michelin potenza's up front.

 

Yes, mine does too, it's a fact of life.

 

my car has done it ever since i got the falkin's i like to think that its just pure traction keeping me awake.

 

my car does same jus gotta hold steering wheel tigher its the worst on the highway when theres a car next to you.

 

Ya I run 205/40/17's and mine follows the grooves can suck at 70 or so sometimes

 

yes its dangerous when your going about 80 on a smooth surface then all of a sudden u feel it pull into the ruts like crazy...

 

i'm dropped running 205/40/17's and mine follows the road grooves like a b!tch, way worse on the hwy. . i'm used to it now though so it's all good

 

Michelin Potenza's eh?!

 

Mine did it stock. I try to avoid it now that I'm lowered, but it's not any worse than it was before.

 

yep mine does, its a pain

 

My stock 92 corolla does this on 155/80/13...

 

yeah on falken 205/45/16s. noisy too

yup ....

 

My car loves to follow the rules

 

have you tried lowering your tire presure. my new rears were way high, like 46 psi and the car wandered like mad! I took them down too, 35 and most of it was gone. Really, the only sure fire way I know of is to do both fix and maintain you tire pressure and get a camber kit. of at the very least put a few washers in the rear set up.

I'm running them at 38psi now. I don't want to get rid of the negative camber for handling reasons. I guess it's unavoidable with my setup. I do need to get my toe set (which is all they can align without a camber kit) because the steering wheel is off a little bit. I don't think my toe settings will change the bump steer but who knows.

 

directional tires do not help...have bfgoodrich kdw...kinda loud but grabs like a *****

 

why are you groove cruising? are you tipsy?

 

is mine goin to grab more on a 2 inch drop? w/ 205-40r-17

 

yeah there's a lovely thing called alignment that you may want to have checked up

 

simple physics my friend... tires are gonna follow where and how the road pitches. im lowered 2.25" up front and 1.75" rear on stock 95 fat fives 195/55/15's and it'll pull with the grooves
