I just put new tires on the front of my car last week. My front wheel hit the fender cutting my tire. I couldnt figure out why this happened since i have been running this set up for 25k miles now. I was concerned since i will be cornering hard. Well i found out the problem when i was finishing up getting the car ready. I went to check the tire pressure which i should have done when i put the tires on and the fronts were at 45psi!! So the tire was much larger then it should be and thats why i now have a messed up fender but problem solved
Sorry to hear, how did they get that much air in them?

First of all, I always tell the dealership to NOT adjust the air in my tires. last week I forgot. Then, I had a a flat fixed the other day and when I got the car back it felt like it wasnt handling worth a damn. I checked the tire pressure. the tires around the car diffrered by 8 psi (highest to lowest) and by 2 psi from each other around the car. It made the handling sqirrely to say the least.

I am back adjusted to what I like. 32 cold in front and 34 cold in rear. It gives the car just a touch of understeer and keeps the tail from getting loose IMO
