New Tyres And Correct Tracking

Recommended Posts

maturin23

Hi all,

 

Finally got round to fitting two new tyres (Eagle F1's) on the front end of my 205 Mi16.

Also had the tracking done which was a long long way out.

 

I've just been for a thrash - the car has more traction in the wet post-tracking that it did in the dry, and it'll pull to the red line in second without a twitch through the steering wheel whereas before the torque steer was worse than a Volvo V40 T4 :( . The steering itself has lightened up too and I can feel so much more detail.

 

Can't believe it's taken so long to sort it...

You should NEVER underestimate a proper alignment... nice one and glad you've got a much better car out of it :(

It shouldn't have been a surprise really - took my Scoob to Powerstation in Cheltenham for a proper alignment and bumpsteer mod and it felt like a different car.

 

Sometime the simple things make all the difference...
