New Tyres Causing Issue

[clarkeeuk99]

Hi Guys,

I had to replace my rear tyres a couple of weeks so that my 255 would pass its MOT.

Since then, when I nail the throttle hard in say, 2nd or 3rd gear it pulls a bit to the right until I change the gear up. Then when I apply hard throttle again it pulls a bit to the right again!

Everything has been tip-top with my Vee, and literally this problem has only just come about since new tyres being fitted.

(Just so you know, I witnessed every bit of the MOT and the new tyres being fitted so there has been no idiot ragging my car behind my back)

Could this maybe be something to do with incorrect/un-even tyre pressures or something?

Thanks All
Phil.

From my experience, sounds like a wheel alignment/geometry issue.

If your alignment was out, the old tires would of worn accordingly out to null the effect so you wouldnt of noticed, the fresh new tyres will of highlighted that this needs addressing.


however, first check you have right pressures in the tires as it could be related.

if this doesnt sort it, i recommend you get your wheels lazer aligned. The cars are extremley senstive to it.
