Hi TS, thank you for the response, however I think you might have gotten slightly confused here, my question on no.1 is actually not about grip or loss of comfort. More to tramlining and wobbly / squishy feel. Kindly see my original post (
below for easier reference)
I have a few questions which I hope you can assist with.
Background: Std Saga VVT using stock Silverstone M3 175/70/13 upgraded to PS3 195/50/15.
Issues: experiencing tramlining, higher body roll (likely due to softer side walls?), car isnt as composed when breaking hard either.
Only plus points seems to be grip and rather low noise, whereas with the Silverstones it was opposite (ie: higher noise, lower grip especially in the wet but the rest were fine). What gives?
Some times i wonder if the tire shop knew of such things (and thus took the opportunity to sell) or they really think its a safety issue.
Id agree on tolerances. Tire shop said no warranty one lah, Perodua said have but need to deal directly with manufacturer. Manufacturer (Silverstone) has kinda shut down (and they were pushing me back to Perodua), later found out they are now made and handled by Toyo tires, they were of the opinion that it was within spec and normal. All these created a perfect storm since i travel long distance and if 3/4 of my tires had a "bulge" as the tire shop called them, i was not willing to risk a single pop on the highway @ high speeds.
Just a bit of backstory, tires were within warranty period, ran for about 20K km. Now i have 4 extra tires because of this episode.
Eh, i think saga is also using torsion beam so technically there shouldnt be anything to adjust. Not sure if VVT is the same as older models tho.
did u pump air pressure according to 13" specs or 15" specs (pls refer any same gen vehicle come with 15")
i suspect alignment as well becos shop only focus on straight line or they may pick a generic saga (different gen) from computer
