Well it certainly feels like it!!
My old car used to tram line like gud un.it would follow a snail trail
If one was there!!
Therefore today had 2 new front tyres ,Pirelli p7 blue ....................
WHAT A DIFFERENCE.....it's amazing....find it hard to believe
The improvement to the car. All the talk about strut braces ..bushes etc.
Just get some new tyres!!!! I cannot believe they have made so much difference
Not a cheap fix but fixed it they have and worth every penny!!

Cheers
A happy bunny:)

I had the same experience with my Z3 Brian when I replaced the well worn tyres which it came on.

Tyres are often overlooked by owners because they have tread so must be OK. The Z3 is sensitive to tyres and tyre pressures, but for some reason people start off by changing everything everything else....

Just replaced all four Kumho KU31 with the same. Cannot believe the difference. it's like driving a different car. Don't miss fighting with the steering to keep on line.:thumbsup:

Dead right chaps.Mine had some worn Michelins on the front and it followed every uneven bit of tarmac.I read somewhere that ideally the Z3 should have asymmetric tread tyres and the Michelins were symmetric.Changed to some new Avon ZV7 s and it feels totally different.Much much better!
