2011 V6 18inch wheels

Hi all,

Last winter I bout some steel 17s and snow tires for them. I've been using them all winter, last month I went back to the Perelli 18s that came with the Pony Package. I have noticed that with stock wheels / tires, the car feels a little twichy sometimes. It's difficult to explain, almost like the tires are under inflated. (they aren't) It only happens hitting some pot holes, or some other road conditions. I believe this was existing from delivery, I just never noticed it as much as going from winters to stock tires. I was wondering wether anyone else has this problem. I've already taken it in, the dealer thinks I'm crazy.

Thanks

Lower profile tires are more likely to pull around from the crown of the road, truck tire ruts, etc. Maybe that's what you are experiencing?


cheers

I used to get the same thing but mine tended to be over inflated

That could be it, though I gotta say, not a fan.
