Sparetyre Neutral Newbie May 28, 2002 Share May 28, 2002 Think what u feel should be that your steering is lighter.... as for bumpy-ness.. that'll depend on what road u travelling on and your tyres.... think your turning would become more responsive too..... and you should get better fuel economy too.... tested and proven...

Zolidlim Neutral Newbie May 28, 2002 Share May 28, 2002 Wat pressure u guys suggest for a 16" rims with ST115 Falken low profile tyres? Everytime i went for balancing, blah blah blah, the mechanic will change my pressure. So, therefore, then my pressure will be different again. My car swerve to one side though i've just balanced my car. Why isit so? Headache........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly75ts Neutral Newbie May 28, 2002 Share May 28, 2002 Hi! there, Mitlover, No matter how many times you send your tyres for balancing, it won't fix the way your car move to one side. That can only be fixed by doing wheel-alignment. Balancing of the tyres only stop your steering wheel from shaking, caused by the lack of uniform weight during the rotation of the tyre on the wheel. Car not going straight can be caused by the angle of the road, used for drainage to prevent puddles on road surface. To determine if your car is going straight, move along a concrete surface that's flat, try the multi-storey carparks. Wheel-alignment is a waste of money if your tyres are not properly maintained, tyre pressure not same for each axle, ball-joints & bushings are worn and not replaced.

Seems like Paul already gave a detail explanation about your problem. Regarding the tyre pressure, I am not sure about 16" rims. I am using 36psi (cold) for my front tyres and 34psi for the rear tyres. I am using 215/45/ZR17 tyres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi! I pump 36psi for my front tyres and 34psi for the rear tyres. The dimension is 215/45/17. You may need to do some trial-and-error to get the suitable pressure.
