okay i just had an alignment done last weekend. steering wheel is finally straight and car seems straight. i got my wheels re-balanced and rotated. i put on my old rotors because i think the fronts got warped. anyways i want my car to drive straight but it still drifts a tad to the right if i let go the steering wheel for more than 5 seconds...what is causing this. myth or fact about the crown of the road is slightly right and causes cars to drift? my gf's accord stays straight, why cant my celica???

QUOTE(tim86 @ Nov 2, 2006 - 12:50 PM) [snapback]498729[/snapback] isnt 35 psi for low pro tires a little high? if you have a 40 profile I'd bring it down to 30psi. but if you don't drive long distances it should be perfectly fine. and as long as they are all the same it wouldn't be the cause of the pulling. I had my Kumho's at 35 and got bulges after long drives and had to replace them twice... but those were sh!tty tires. my 45 profile Falkens are at about 32 with no problems. -------------------- |
