Tyres

[Tomm3]

Hi my 9.3 2005 convertible feels soggy (laterally) with small turns of the steering which shows up more when towing.
Feels like low pressures but they are correct, maybe this will improve with better brand of tyre?
Currently on Kingstar front with Debica rears (no me neither...) which were almost new when I bought the car. Anyone else had the same issue?

Ditch the ditch finders and I'm sure it'll feel a lot better even with something mid range such as the uniroyal rain experts etc.

I have Uniroyal Rainsport 3s on my Saab - awesome handling and wet grip. Mine is a 9-5 estate, and the XL version of the tyres is recommended by those who know, to avoid excessive wear. They are only a couple of quid extra.

I normally buy off the internet and have them fitted locally, but the Formula 1 Autocentre beat all internet prices this time. They also did a free 4 wheel alignment check without being asked, but I wonder if the faults they found were as a result of using the wrong settings, as the old tyres were not worn in any way irregularly and it handled well.
