I have stock AP2v2 Wheels.

I changed out the rear to 255 RS3 a month ago. I still have some meat on the Stock RE 215 in the front so I left it there. Ever since I notice this weird noise and my triangle light flashes when ever I turn with moderately speeds. Especially on an curvy freeway off ramp.

I hear this like scraping noise and when I apply the breaks, it vibrates but not so responsive.

Its noticeable with when I still have stock suspensions.

Now, I changed to V3 with no Alignment, it seems to be worsen.

Today, I even smell something burning.

Is this a normal Understeer or did I broke something(AGAIN).....

Burning is bad. Understeer is because you have WAY more grip in the back than front. You might have excessive toe from installing the V3 and not getting an alignment.

Hit me up and I can meet you somewhere to take a quick look at your car.

YGPM Mike.

I scheduled an appointment at West End next Tues. That is the soonest they got for me.

The burning smell like burning rubber....

Dude thats way too much grip in the rear. Def need an alignment and change the front tires.

But isnt the CR setup the similar way?

215 front 255 back?

Yes, you are correct.

And bigjeff, 255 is in no way too much grip...lol

You guys must have all missed that he's on RE050 fronts and RS3 rears.

They are both the same wear rating and are both performance summer tires.
The rs3 is probably a little softer though, especially on the sidewall.

His problem isn't the mismatch tires as much as the tire burning.

Maybe something is hitting them?

Just turn the wheels all the way to one side and visually inspect. At least.

The smell sounds like something is rubbing... I would check for that first just like pemex said
