as per title, what are your thoughts on running these on mk4 gti
my front tyres were badly damaged due to wishbone bushes, got these very cheap £45 each :lipsrsealed:
Previously I had 225/40 which I still got at rear, is it alright to run 235/40 front and 225/40 rear
-
It might upset the abs due to different rolling radius
-
so what will u recommend then, shall I change rear to 235/40 or change front again to 225/40??
Got tracking done today as well

225/40 ftw, would be a better bet.

While driving around roundabouts I feel like my car oversteer. Can it be cause of different Tyres at front or it's due to cheap quality?
-
Cheap tyres would probably be more likely to cause understeer wouldn't they?
-
I am not sure cause when I bought these I was short of cash and in different city to mine so had to buy these. Initially I wanted second hand 225/40 but tyre guy said you can get 235/40 new in similar price and it won't make any difference to driving :undecided:

im running 235/40/r18 and there fine :smiley:

I meant my tyres are cheap in price thats why they are causing problem not yours Nav. I got these while I was in birmingham and short of cash so breaker offered this tyre for £45 each for new :rolleyes:
-
what make and model tyre are they ??
-
I don't know actually :embarassed:
I'll check in morning
-
wicked because you dont know whether they are crap or not if we dont know what they are lol might be something other than your tyres affecting the over steer ??

Replace wishbone joints and abs sensor. Got new tyres, balancing and tracking done as well. I think its cause of tyres, because wheel spins alot now, even in 3rd gear if I press the pedal hard :laugh:
-
I no this might sound stupid but do they have any tread left ?? is it over boosting ?? thats a wide tread tyre to spin up in 3rd..
-
yeah man, its brand new tyre. I'll take some pics in morning and post them up
-
hmm very odd.. I cant see the tyre being the problem others have run this width with no problems even if it was a budget tyre.. cheap tyres spin which in a turn induces understeer not over steer because the grip level is minimal and a crap compound.. I stil think it may be something else to blame

Oversteer
Oversteer, like understeer, results from the car reaching the limits of traction on a corner. In this case, the rear tyres reach the limit of adhesion before the front. This leads to 'the back coming out' (see Diagram 1). The good thing about oversteer is that you normally go through the hedge backwards, thus preventing expensive repairs to the front of your vehicle! If you manage to performed sustained, controlled oversteer this is know as drifting
