Howdy,

I've been driving (03-TLS) on OEM sized Falken ZIEX-512s on stock rims. I just replaced them with a set Sumitomo HTR+. It feels like the steering is much more responsive. The slightest touch of the steering wheel sends you moving. Is this all in my head or can tires make that much of a difference? (It could be that how is should have always been but someone (not me of course) decided a 2" drop would require a camber kit -- the Falkens were clearly pretty jacked up. And yes a camber kit in the mail

Thanks,

Joe

 

Could be the weight and/or tire width of the tires. You'd be surprised how much weight and tire width has to do with steering "feel". When I go from 235/40/18 + 18" Volk rims down to 205/50/17 + 17" OEM rims ... you can use 1 finger to parallel park with the 17" rims.

 

can i ask where did you get ur camber kit from and how much, because my 02 tl is lowed and in needs of new tire so i decided to get the new rims and tire but before i get it to install on i need to get the camber kit so it doesn't happen to my new tire again.


please help
Thanx in Advance

 

I went with Ingalls and they were $139 for a rear set from Import Auto Performance. They shipped the day after I ordered them.
