Do they all do this???

[goodlife]

Just had my first ever passenger ride in a Tuscan. No idea why I'd not been in one before, just never got around to it. Anyway...

Do they all feel like they are floating about with a slight weave over 90ish?! Certainly felt highly unstable. If not, what should my mate be looking at to fix this?

With correct geometry settings,Nitron suspension & a good set of tyres at the correct pressure the Tuscan is a very stable car, if it's unstable at the speed you say one or more of these needs attention.

what was the road like ? are we talking motorways ? in which case definately not.

If we are talking wee back roads.. then the fact it's a light car.. wide tyres.. hard suspension does tend to mean it tramelines a bit and can take it upon itself to jump 2 feet across the road if it hits a wierd camber.

Especially on real small roads where there is an obvious central hump type camber... once the thing gets on that in the middle of the road you need to talk nicely to it to get it off the blooming thing.

still.. one could argue that 3 figure speed on single track roads is inadvisable....ahem.

Definitely sounds like the geometery and tyre pressures need checking.

Twas the tyre pressures on mine when recently on the autobahn, 90ish and I was terrified also might have been the fact that the rear tyres were brand new? But when the correct pressures were in the they were fine. I've also had 160ish and was glued to the same sort of autobahn.

Need to be carefull with new tyres-takes a bit of time to bed them in-something to do with the release of agents from the compound-there was a thread on this a while back as someone had come a cropper at relatively low speeds.

yup. on the bike new tyres are near lethal.. you have to drive like a right upright nobber for the first 100 miles or so.

car tyres are a bit more forgiving (and a lot more hard), but especially in the wet you need to watch oot.

In support of previous postings....

When my car was new I had the same feeling. This went afer a short time but came back recently when I had new rear tyres fited. It's now gone again after 500 miles or so.

Out of interest what tyre pressure do you guys use on the 18" spiders front and rear please !!

[delamars]

24 psi every corner.

The type of tyre may also make a difference. I have Toyo Proxes T1S.
