right well i was bored today so after reading a thread somewhere saying you should always put new tyres onto the rear of ya gaylander i swapped mine over. so i put the nearly new khumos on the rear and the half worn pirrellis (which have a little bit of uneven wear)onto the front.
just got back after the school run and its like a different car,
as i reversed off my drive on full lock,took my foot off the loud pedal and where as before it used to come to a halt rather quickly it didn't. it appears that by just swapping the rubber has eliminated most of the wind up that occurs when reversing on full lock .
so anyway off i went and as i accelerated through 30 mph, big vibration through the whole car which disapears by the time you reach 40mph. does the same on deceleration now it did not do this before i swapped the tyres so i would come to the conclusion that the pirrellis are ****ed.
but why no vibration when they were on the rear? and could just a pair of worn tyres cause the (coming to an abrupt halt when reversing on full lock)senario that all gaylanders seem to suffer from to a lesser or greater degree.
