New Tires = Fun

[svx_commuter]

The thrill is back! New tires on the car and no more vibration at 80 mph, not that it was that bad, just a mild steering wheel shake. Tire balancing was not fixing the problem. I was thinking I had bent the rims or broke the struts from a flying experience but I must have damaged the tires some how or they just wore out.

These new Yokohama AVS dB tires are very quiet over the rough concrete roads, remarkable. I wonder how loud they would be if I switched the right with the left side and ran them backwards? Has anyone tried that?

Also, no more road grab at slow speeds, the car tracks straight and the steering doesn't pull to a side any more. Another learning experience for me, the tires are very important on the SVX. I was thinking maybe the axles were bad again but nope the new tires made the change.

Now I have to wait to drive home after work! Can't wait that long. I am thinking about telling my car pool buddy to forget taking his car, to much FUN driving the SVX, better than ever!
