Hi I have looked at different threads and cannot seem to find the answer to my question,if its out there in the forum i do apologize!
I have a leon cupra 2001 model with standard 16in rims.I have 205/55/r16 at the moment.The problem is I had pirelli p7s in the front and pirelli p6000 in back.I have found the p7's to be a better tyre but it had worm out in the front more so swoppped them to the back and the p6000 to the front.
My problem is that I am findin that the car understeers a hell of a lot more.The tread on the tyres are very good,esp on the front ones(altho inferior tyres) I have found this problem esp on a rondabout where i could easily go around at 30mph and it would go round fine,Now It understeers like never b4,even in the dry.
Any idea what this could be?
Is it worth changing the tyres to a wider width,ie, 225/55/16,would this make a difference,I have read good reviews about the falken 452 if im not mistaken.
I recently got car remapped by p torque and the difference is incredible and before that installed new poly dogbone mount bushes,but when I drove to p torque the mount came abit loose,so vw rescue were kind enough to tighten the mount so I could drive home in peace.The friendly man(steve) also told me that my anti roll bushes were getting soft and they would need changing at my discretion.I guessing this also affects the handling.
Any views or tips or help is much appreciated.
I thank you all in advance
