Problem after changing tyres..help..

[fritz]

I just changed 2 tyres..the front one shift to the back..left 90% thread..then
the front one using the new one. Problem is..after changing tyres..wen at highspeed
cornering..the car like wanna skid..b4 changing tyres it was not like tht..
Questions is...
Is it because the tyres r still new need to run for a period of time Or Is it bcoz of the tyre pressure..or some setting?!

Thanks!

most proly could be your camber sudah off. Check and see.. I had that problem once, bcoz the mech, play play with my cambers....;(

assuming your tyres are equal or better than the previous... then I guess Cynicks has a point.

a sifoo once told me u have to wear down the new tires (run it in) for 200km under careful driving before whacking them in high speed corners. this is so the sidewalls dont get squashed straightaway and weaken prematurely. he calls it "seasoning the tire"

i have no proof that by following this advice ur tires will skid less, coz i never tried NOT following that advice. its a thing to try, if u want to, and its just one person's opinion.

must season the new tyre first

yaya.. thats what i heard too.

but even if you 'season' your tire, it won't perform to its max potential, as it will degrade while you drive around it slowly. so for best performance is to shave it, shave off the top surface.

no i dunno how, and i think your shaving knife won't do. this applies to all racing slicks, dunno about normal tires but more or less the same lar.. IMH2centO

Oh~...i changed duno wat chamber wen i change the tyre...like a big screw..coz he show me already senget..1 day already..still not stable..high speed on highway..feel the steering very very light..very dangerous..haih! i rather din change tyre b4...

 

[TypicalGuy]

most probably due to the tyre sidewall..maybe it's soft..so it flex during cornering....

what is the model of the rear wheel tyres?

try pump 240 kpa at the back or set the allignment to +0.5 left and right = +1.0

it helps..

The problem that you're facing is because of new tyre.
You have to season it for more than 200km.
It happen to me as well everytime I change the new tyres.
most probably this problem will last for more than 1 week.
Better drive carefully and don't whack on the corner 1st.

This could very well be the camber and new tyres not seasoned yet. both are important. Set the camber back.

maybe u sould bring your car to reputable alignment shops
like michelin in OKR or YS Khong in Taman Mayang for a full
car alignment setup with total camber, caster, alignment &
on wheel balancing tweakings... tell them your problem &
what kinda handling u want... I guarantee you will be satisfied.

re align the tyre and balance rear tyre....

 

[fritz]
