Cheap tyre warning!
Hi all,
Ive only recently bought my impreza, which I am very pleased with. However it did have a rather alaming trait- the back end would step out violently! On power, off power, balanced throttle always the same.
The tyres on it when I bought it were Landsails on the front and Autogrips on the back, all in good condition, i havn't heard of either.
I suspected the tyres may be the cause of the issue, so I swapped tyres from one of my other cars, the difference is remarkable.
It now when pushed, understeers a little with no hint of the rear breaking away, even when provoked.
Anyway - avoid Autogrips like the plague, they will try to kill you!
Peter
