Ooosh 1st Gear November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 (edited) should not have gone for staggered 19inch....having wider tyres at back actually makes the car less sharp during turn in...so it has a tendency to drift away from the corner have to take note. I use to run staggered setup but regret as cant do rotation so now stick to 235/40/18 all round, not to mention tyre price for 19" By the way, how do you know if your rim is warped? during balancing should be able to see if the wheel spin without any notciable budges....drive got feel any difference?

SGCMniceguy Clutched November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 If your car is rwd, best with staggered setting. Same size tyre easily drift away....especially on rft...i have been using stagger tyres for year, the best is when you can stop immediately if anything happen up front...

Roberttan 5th Gear November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 (edited) Tyre shops always say rims warp, tyre wall puncture.. just like we go see Doctor , sure go home with medicine. Any way you can always ask the see the problem physically A good workshop usually will show you the FACT , spin the wheel can see it wobble (ask the see the diff of GOOD and Bad condition so that you can tell the diff) Edited November 14, 2012 by Roberttan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
