Sway bars with stock tires

I have sways with stock tires. With any setup you have to know the limits. Just drive with common sense and you should be fine. But definately better tires would help.

I'm with PhiTL...gotta know the limits.

Got Sways and the Stock... when they wear out I consider Yoko's or Dunlops...

Do a search and you'll find my earlier posts when I got the sways...

In short the sways are great as now the car feels at 1 unit with the road... before it felt like the body was somehow separated from the chasis.

The most convincing manuver which portrays this is when you are on the hwy doing 75-80mph and do a lane change only to realise that buddy on the cellphone in the far lane also wants your lane and did not bother to look or indicate... then when you swerve back into your lane .... I tell ya it happened to me before the sways and it can be scary.

Hope this helps.

I did up until last week...if pushed they will give...if pushed far enough any tire will give...I do prefer my new Bridgestone 730s though...hold much better, and much more quiet :-)
