Tires and ride improvement

[zafarhayatkhan]

I had Dunlop Sport A2 205/60 tires and was not satisfied with road noise and ride.

I reduced the tire pressure and that helped the ride but increased tire wear to a point were after 12K miles, they were deformed to where they sounded like a bearing had gone bad! The Dunlops probably had a manufacturing defect.

Replaced them with Goodyear Eagle GT 215/65 tires and now it rides like a totally different car. Road noise and harshness is gone. Each road bump is no longer felt, just heard sometimes.

There is a slight vibration in the steering wheel at speeds over 60 MPH, but another balancing on the Hunter 9700 machine with the roadforce should cure that.

Installer did not have to use much weight to balance the tires.

I may yet keep this car!!
