Tire size and steering geometry
I recently put on BF Goodrich G-Force TA KDW to try and solve a steering issue where the right was more resistant than the left.
After getting the new tires on, the resistance completely flipped flopped.
So i took the car to the dealer and had them align it.
When I got it back the steering wheel was off center. The steering resistance was still uneven, so I have had Discount take those tires off and put new REO50's back on.
The steering feel is about even now not 100% but very close. The steering wheel is off center a little more than when I had the BF Goodrich's on so I am thinking alignment is still not correct ?
Does tire size affect centering the Steering Wheel ? Or is it Toe that affects the Centering ?
Obviously its going back to the dealership but I was just curious as to what causes the wheel to be off center.
Also for anyone who is curious about the BF Goodrich's G-Force TA's, I do not think they are as stable around corners as the Bridgestones. The bridgestones seem like a better tire and handle better IMO.
Thanks,
