weekly. i often drive pg-kl earlier was using conti. no big deal
now is local cheap vehicle icon_question.gif big differences

That's because out from the factory most or all conti always build-in very substantial front negative camber.

Local cars generally has 0° front cambers, especially among segments A and B cars.

Hence my suggestion above for you to go for more negative front cambers ......
for ALL cars encountering cross winds like your case, including conti cars if any.

Not really...

From my experience, normally camber abnormality usually only occurs on one side. If both sides also makan outside, then most likely your crazy tyre shop gave u an excessive toe-in setting which causes excessive wear on outer tyres. Many shops are doing this.

Interesting video ...



Truck bukannya laju pun. If I issue my own High Wind Advisories, this is the only advisory that will be given "Road Closure". If we compare how the Europeans deal with crosswinds, we can immediately see that kerajaan memang kurang bijak.

A good suggestion is to... Slow down... If you feel the crosswind pushing, lift off the gas, don't stay so close to the barrier and both hands on the steering. Unless you are driving F1, every car will have some sort of crosswind due to the surface area.

From what I found out, usually, if you go back SC compared to outside WS, alignment will be way better. I am not sure if it is because outside WS didn't calibrate or didn't input vehicle specs.

Note: So far I found Tyre Plus alignment quite good on par with SC

Despite all of our assumption, it seems that F1 cars are affected by crosswind too.

Did you pump your tire or is your car loaded with people?

For me if I pump my tire before travelling i usually will feel more crosswind compare to didn't pump.

Instead of placing signages like this,

I would prefer they put up windsocks instead along the sides of the expressway thats prone to crosswinds.

Most of the time these windsocks are located somewhere hidden from the drivers plain view of sight because a good location for windsock is not always visible from expressway. When windsocks are not visible to drivers, it means nothing.

Therefore having erected numerous windsocks along areas prone to crosswinds is more important. to having a signage.

I don't know about you guys, but whenever I use the expressway, crosswind areas is the last thing on my mind while driving, if I can even remember about them.

If Plus management don't like the windsock, well can use this design also ...

Cheapo way to help try lowered your ride.
