Hello,

So I've recently changed my Myvi's front tyres and the steering wheel felt loose after that. Went and did alignment and it's back to normal stiffness.

However, my friend tried driving my car before and he asked why is the steering wheel stiff compared to his own Myvi.

I've also driven Estima, Camry and BMW 5 series (all several thousand kilometres driven, not test drive) before and never noticed the difference in steering wheel stiffness, so I can assume all of them had similar stiffness.

May I know how stiff or loose are steering wheels suppose to be? Should I advise my friend that maybe his car's steering wheel is suppose to be stiffer?

Please advise. Thank you.

some car have weighted feels ( usually sports car ), some car is light as fuck despite how huge it is ( mpv ), so no, not all cars are equal.
