Just had my wheels refurbed and goodyear f1's fitted all round, comfort slightly better, but on the way back home from picking car up, noticed she ran with the road edge something fierce , tried to pull me into the ditch, but was giving her some peddle at the time

Thing i'm wondering is, do you think it's just tyre pressure related, or as i have noticed before when giving it some, it's something else, as she is a bit light and vague on the front. (hope the pic works..)
Thanks, Dave.

Looks good mate. Were the F1s on to start with if not then could be the tyres. If the tyres were on then yes i would say pressures. I used to run around 32psi when i had the 3.0 Z3 with wider rears. We run the same pressures on the Z4. We have not encounted any pulling what so ever in the Z4 since we have had it. It is though quite light and you do need it pointing in a straight line before putting pedal to the metal or it will try and spin you if you put it down to early

I'd agree with the pressures being incorrect, also possibly they may need to be scrubbed in a little. The Vredestein Sessanta's I've just bought needed a few hundred miles before the front end started to stick on roundabouts like the previous Maxxis tyres did.

The tyre fitters were way out on the pressures as well, and that didn't help till I set them to 32psi all round.

Thanks guys,
I will give them a few miles to scrub in etc and see how it goes .
I have replaced the run flats that were on it at the same time as refurb, so maybe expecting to bigger difference, then i will take it for a 4wheel tracking session, to make sure it's running straight......... Again, Thanks.:thumbsup:
