Hey guys,

I changed my tires yesterday, and when driving home i found the steering to be very different.
When i turn my steering wheel to make a sharp turn, then let go of the steering wheel, instead of the steering wheel return to straight position, the steering wheel turns even more!

Have anyone encountered this before?
I called the tire shop, they said they only did alignment, and should not affect the steering.

The whole story:

1. My old front tires were worn out, reached the thread mark indicator.
2. I bought two tires, and the shop placed them in the rear. The two old rear tires were placed to the front wheels.
3. The Rear tires are slightly larger, 225/45R18, compared to the front tires 225/40R18
4. The shop did alightment and balancing for all tires.
5. they took the car for a short test drive before giving me the tires.
6. When i was driving home, i found the steering was strange, but expected it was due to new tires.
7. I went to pump air, and found the tire pressures to be all random, 40psi Front Left, 30 psi rear left, 35 psi front right, 38psi rear right.
8. They aligned my car with different tire pressures.
9. I adjusted tire pressure back to normal, but still felt the effect of "steering pull?"

Any of these reasons could cause my steering to "over turn / over rotate"?

Normally when i let go of the steering wheel, the steering will auto return to straight.
But after changing tires, the steering sometimes turns even more when i let go of the steering wheel.

I noticed it turns alot more when i carparks, making sharper turns.

The shop i called says they cant do anything about that.

Any ideas?

is it ur car got special function? my car steering didnt back to straight once i release my steering

your old tyre (from rear to front) tyres ok lagi ka?

Ya, still ok. the old ones from rear still have thread.

hmm.. for 2+ years ive been driving the inspira, always will pull to straight wor.
So your car need to manually turn the steering back to straight all the time?

ya ..

go for it...

hahahaha just buy same brand.....im using s.drive

prepare money in wallet.. good advice i think

buy 2nd hand la..

hmm broo.. I think u better check it out ... cause normally when u turn the steering it will go back to normal position but for your case, its somehow a bit different cause it turns even more..

and all these happen once u change ur tire rite...

im not a car expert, but I sense there is something wrong with the alignment.. normally it will pull to straight.. maybe other forummer can advise you what is the cause of it...

or bro... try to make an appointment with Proton SC.. and let them take a look... they might be able to find out the cause of it...

i got some items for sale, but until now no time put up thread LOL

now u only know...

thanks all

btw, our stock continental cc5 is the worse? i just worried as hear most of comfort tyre got bulge issue...

If you hit road divider /curb at over 160 kph going airborne, ya got bulge issue.

user problem
