Post Those with 17" Bridgestone RE730's...

I noticed this weekend when I was driving the TL, I went to put my brakes on and the car pulled to the left. I tried it a few more times and the car traked straight, then tried a panic stop and it tracked straight. Does the larger tire size and tread pattern cause the car to follow groves in the road or different grades. The tires are stickier than stock. It was a weird sensation. Maybe I should get the alignment checked to make sure...

It could be anything, Mike... Also there's a possibility one of the calipers may be sticking occasionally, ya never know.. I don't think it's a problem.. I have occasional problems like that, but it's nothing I worry about...

usually high performance tires that are Z-rated gets swayed by the imperfections on the road more than touring tires, dont worry that happens to my car also, and I know my alignment is not off since i goes fairly straight on the highway when im going like 80 miles...
