help with tire issue plz
Hey guys recently I upgraded my stock 17s to sport 19s with continental extremeContact tires.
245/45/19 front
275/45/19 rear
The issue I'm having is that my car feels worse than my 93 camry when driving.
At the beginning the car was pulling to the right, so I took it back to tire shop to figure out what it is. They swayed the times around and it fixed the issue a little bit, but after about 2000 miles, the pulling got stronger and I could hear the tire limping.
I took it again to the shop and they swapped the Rona around but now its worse than ever.
BTW, I took it for an alignment but there's wasn't anything offset.
Please help me out as its bugging the hell out of me.
PS: I'm thinking about going back to my stock 17s cuz my 19s experience has been so bad.

from what I know the car would only pull from the alignment, Theres plenty of member here running the sport 19s with no issues. post a pic, Im curious to see how it looks with those tires

If alignment issue then why does it lessens up when I swapped the fronts around? Also it has a "dup dup dup" noise when driving under 40 mph even with my windows closed and stereo off.
If they say the alignment is not off and the wheels are true, are the tires cupped or flat spotted? Might explain the dup dup noise. Just a thought.
The tires & wheels will have a warranty, and if it's not an alignment issue then it falls back on the wheel &/or tires. The place you bought them from needs to make this right after all other potential causes have been eliminated.
I've got 20" rims w/ 245/35s all around and it rides perfect. Since you didn't have any pulling prior to your 19s I seriously doubt it's an alignment issue unless they bent something during the install. The flop-flop at low speeds may be your tires working out the flat spot caused form parking for a long time but moreso in cold weather, and it goes away after a mile or two usually once they're warmed up. Good luck w/ this and BTW, nice looking shoes
