oh... and alignment should be done after any drop... as well as a camber kit. dont expect to have the same comfort with an upgraded suspension.

i didn't see anything about suspension or drops... well, not like that i know of.

What tires do you have. My guess would be that when you got 17"s you also got wider stickier tires. Now you have more contact with the road & the tires are doing what they are designed for....sticking to the road.

make sure the wheels are balanced if your steering wheel is moving left and right.

like i notices all teh wheels,
the diver side has 5 of those weights.
the back of the driver side has 4
the back of the passenger has 3
and the passenger front has 2 (theres a shading like 1 of it fell off or something)
there like 1/4 oz..is it suppost to b like that? i thought all of them should have the same amount usually my old donuts have 1 fat clip on it.
it only turn like left n right when im on a bumpy road..other then that str8ght road its fine

its the tires. when i had kumho 712 they followed the grooves of the road a lot. must be a kumho thing.

hmm not sure what your talking about when you said "weights". im guessing the clips that you use when mounting new tires on? but otherwise, only 1 is neccesarly used.

205/40/17 is a very low profile tire, you have to expect to "feel" whats on the road mostly when your driving on rough roads.


have someone take a look at it. drive your car slowly and have someone inspect your tires to see if they are not wobbling.
