oversteer from new tires?
i just changed my stock fu[kinstones for some new falken ones.. They are Ziex 512 in 205/50 (stock rims)
The tires have been on for 5 days now, they have about 100 miles on them..
at the begining i thought, (ok they are new, maybe they just need to get worn) but after 100 miles the tail keeps sliding..
i like oversteer, fun to drive, but i never thought that tires would inflict that much..
why is this? stupid stock shitty tires are better gripping? wtf?

1. Check your tire preasures. You'd be supprised how much a 1 LB difference front to rear can make in regards to handling.
2. how are you entering these turns, You as a driver can actualy cause alot of oversteer.
and 3. are you pushing the car harder now that you have different tires?

well i went to my "test place" put on some markers and do my small individual autoX session, the front feels more sticky, the back just slides a lot more... i really like it
...
huh, tire pressure, havent thought about that, maybe they are inflated too much on the rear, would that be the loose of traction?
thanks man
