Is tires causing my car to feel soft?
Hi! I was wondering if my tires are the reason for my car to feel soft? Like when I drive over small bumps and stuff it feels like it glides over them but I can hear it really loud from the inside.
I only feel it in the front. And my front tires have really bad camber wear in the inside. It already hit the wear bar a while ago and they look almost bald! So what I'm wondering is if this was the reason that's causing the soft feeling when I drive over bumps? Thanks!
BTW I have full coilovers, so I was able to feel everything before.

I wouldnt think that tire wear would cause your ride to be smoother. I would suspect just the opposite because you have less tread to absorb the bump. However tires with a soft sidewall can cause the ride to be softer. I suppose that due to excessive wear you may have weakend the sidewall causing it to be softer. In either event, you need to get that camber problem fixed and get new tires before you blow one and crash.
