I needed tires in the rear for the winter so my friend suggested to save and just put "dura turn mozzo sport" on. Grips OK....But going 80 and shaking the wheel...Horrible handling...I can't even go 100 without swerving and having the back end be all spongy...I hate it. Any recommendations besides tires to make stiff?? Sway bars? Give me suggestions. I also have k sport coils on my coupe. And the rears aren't adjusted to the stiffest setting. Could that be? The front's are. I was going from hankook summer tires to all season...

I recommend not driving in excess of 100 mph

Are you talking mph or kmh? If you're talking miles, I'm not sure why you'd expect to be able to go that fast with cheap Chinese tires and still have anything that resembles good handling. If you're talking km, is the tire pressure set properly?

Buy once, cry once.

At 40psi. And I kinda figured. It's just so wobbly and not stiff last 50mph. Just overall crappy

slotterjordan

that's no fun then haha

Isn't that 7 psi higher than recommended? Did you try 33 psi on all four?

I'd advise against cheap tires. Your safety and the safety of others you share the roads with is worth far more than what you'd pay for a quality set of tires. Put a different way, if you can't afford to put decent tires on the car, you can't afford the car.

I was ready to put 800 bucks for a set of 4 Bridgestone. But my friend told me to save and just for the for the winter put these on. And 33 would be better?

in the end, the total cost for chinese tires is whatever you paid for them + $800 for new Bridgestones once you figure out the only way to fix this problem is new tires. Hopefully, lesson learned.

$800 for Bridgestone? What model? That seems like a lot of money for tires that aren't all that great. Are you a Costco member? I just priced a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ at $649 installed. They're better in pretty much every way than anything Bridgestone puts out in the ultra-high-performance category. Continental Extremecontact DWS06 are great, too (but aren't available at Costco).

33 psi is the manufacturer-recommended tire pressure. I'd start there.

sport rwd coupe. 245 in the back 225 front. It was like 760 installed at Firestone. And I'm gonna get a sway bar kit and have my coils balanced and stiffened. Then in spring buy a set of 4 summer tires. Any good summer tire brand?

Costco is great if you're ok with being limted to Michelin, BFG and Bridgestone. Just priced out 4 BFG comp 2 a/s at ~$525 installed. Nitrogen fill is standard along with lifetime rotation, balance and N2.

Dude I hate to rain on your parade, but you really need to get better tires. There is a reason they are so cheap. Do everything you want to the suspension/brakes, but what is in contact with the ground?

Was the car was fine before you switched to these new tires? From what I read that is the case.

Epiphany

Bring psi down to 33 or whatever the door says. 40 is over inflated. Future reference, try not to cheap out on things that keep you off the ground. Tires, shoes and a bed.
