Default Ive got a Bad problem with my car..


Im not exactly sure whats going on .. seems like a realy bad overstearing problem..

Ok so yesterday i jacked the side of my car up.. I took off both front and rear wheels.. I compaired them

The Yoko's were on the rear and the Datons were on the front the datons are aprox 1/2" larger than the Yoko's So i was like ok ill put the yoko's on the front of the Car.

I had the yoko's on the front before..When i had the stock tires in the back

Ok so now i got the Datons on the Rear of the car and the YOKO's on the front of the car

So i go around this turn last night and almost run the car off the road.
And driving up the higway today.. I amost fliped the ****ing thing changing lanes quick.. The only thing i changed was the tires. when i get home im changing them back but i dont udnerstand why this would be a major problem???

it's a bad idea to have 2 different tires on your car. especially if the 2 have different tread patterns.

Yeah but.. In the front they are the same and in the rear they are the same so that shouldnt realy matter to much right?

Normally it shouldn't but if you're pushing things to the edge the two different tire brands can have dramaticly different surface adhesion properties. The limit for the one brand can be different engouh so that they will let go before the other ones. If not this then did you readjust the tire pressures?
