Driving response seeming a little soft now

**wing_gundam** · 03-12-2007, 01:01 PM

Starting yesterday my tires have seemed a little slower in responding to my lane changes and accelleration, as well as feeling looser in turns. I checked my pressure so I'm still at 31-32 psi in all tires and the tread looks fine, but anyone have any ideas on what to check?

I feel like I'm driving a Buwick!

tire tread is excellent, and the road conditions were flat, dry highway

Could it be from the the ambient temps gettin warmer. The car may feel stiffer when cold and make more Hp. Who Knows?

Your location T dot is that Toronto? Roads may appear to be clear but if salt/sand was used during winter, some of the salt/sand is embedded into the pavement and will take the spring rainy season to clear it all away.

if you're rolling on the general exclaim uhp then there's the problem. i speak from experience, they're on mi si right now. i hate them. the sidewalls are way to soft and they do feel floaty. up your psi a little, i run 36-37 in front and 33-35 in the rear.
