Hi all,
I have a silly thing happening at the moment.....I have had 4x Goodyear Assymetrics on for about a month now ...the fronts seem ok but the rears make the car skittish ......instead of the rear just rolling over the bump or cats eye in damp weather it will skid off it sideways or just drop off the bump and i do not like the feel of it???, this is driving in a straight line.
It does this when just driving normally without much throttle or speed as said just ordinary driving. If i drive fast on the Mway all ok.
I bought these tyres and even threw the front Contis away with 5mm still on them so that i was the same tyre all round but now wish i had`t bothered.
The front pressures are on the recommended 32psi and 33psi on the rears ...i was thinking of dropping the rear pressure a bit but i do travel fast and i know the pressure should be increased for faster speed?
The tyres are very quiet compared to the Nexen upper budget tyres which were on the rear but they did handle well with no problems ...this has just happened simply on a tyre change.
I am always the only weight in the motor 15st...lol
The only other tyre i have had that did this was Pirelli Cinturato on my Mini Cooper in 1968 .....but we are now 2016!
Any ideas about tyre pressure?....or does someone else have a similar problem on the C class?....or how many miles needed for bedding in?
