I just drove a couple hours out of town and found myself pulling left on the wheel the entire trip. Does anyone have an issue with their car drifting toward the edge of the road now that they have low profile tires? Here in Canada the roads are paved with a crown in the middle of the road for rain drainage. so there's always a lean towards the right here. This was never a problem with my stock tires on my LS400 but since i've put on these yokohama envigor 215/50/17 the car seems very sensitive to the road. I doubt it's an alignment issue because if the camber of the road leans left then i'm pulling right on the wheel.

did you double check tire pressure

DrumHauler

Yes, they were at about 36psi. The tires say max. 51 psi. and the label in the glove compartment says 30psi. I took them down to 32 psi. Seems a bit better but I'll have to hit the highway again. to be sure. What would be the ideal psi for these rims and tires?

swap the fronts side to side, see if it pulls the other way, if so, you have a tire issue...

I would at least have the alignment checked, its relatively inexpensive way to make sure you won't wear out your new tires too...

DrumHauler

They're directional. Can't swap. I'll just take 'em back to the guys who installed them to check em.

Its not going to hurt anything to swap them and try... it doesn't hurt anything either way actually, they might not perform quite as well, but it wont hurt anything for a test...
