But are they reinforced?.... If not the flexibility in the tyre sidewall will be quite detectable to the driver. Looks like they aren't reinforced for the 215/45. http://www.falkentire.com/ziex512_sizes.html Would this be what i'm feeling ? the difference betten a tyre that was reinforced and now a tyre that isnt ? Yep.... Tyre pneumatic slip angle is very sloppy compared to a reinforced tyre sidewall...... Almost as if the wheel is floating in the rim as you corner. That would explain everything then. I really didn't think a tyre would make that much difference. Guess you learn something new every day. My mind can rest, suppose all i have to do is just get used it. Hopefully the arb's (when i get round to buying them) will help the matter a little. Thanks el_gencer

They are the ZE512s. I believe they are a harder compound than the toyos.

Nope dampening is the same as its always been (i dont tend to use the edfc). I think the best way to describe it is skittish. I have driven over loads of sleeping policemen though. Could these knock the geometry out slightly ? My friend reckons its because i'm not used to the new tyres, the last set were toyo proxies t1-r the new set i'm on are falkens. To me it just feels like the rear end isn't sitting right.

Hi Tony, thanks for the welcome. I'd say roughly around 2 - 2.5k in total.

Hi peeps can anyone offer me some advice. My problem is as the topic tile suggests is that my car doesn't feel as planted as it once did. I have tein type flex coilovers installed and the doc kindly did a full geometry on the car in May this year. After that the difference was noticable by huge margin, the car felt solid as rock. At the moment the car feels a little on edge like the backend is soft and wants to step out (there are no knocking sounds). It doesn't step out it just feels like its going to and can be a little disconcerting at times. I had new tyres install a couple of weeks ago and have been checking the psi levels and all is fine, and there are no visible defects with them. I've had a quick look under the car at the coilovers and there is nothing leaking from them and everything looks good thats attached to them. I even got a freind to drive my car last night, but he couldn't feel anything wrong. He did say he couldn't really comment as he's not driven it much. I'm begining to think its all in my head.
