Anyone that has had F1s before...

did you ever notice they follow grooves in the road like it's no one's business? Maybe it's just the shitty roads here in Montgomery but I've noticed if there is a grove in the road the car follows right on along with it. Didn't do it until I put these tires on it. Not complaining though, just wondering.

Sounds like an alignment issue; that's what my car used to do when the toe-in was off.

I see what you are saying but nothing has changed other than the tires. I have't put the CC plates on and haven't fooled with anything yet. It didn't start to do it until I put these tires on so I was wondering if it was due to the tread design?

I'm not denying I need an alignment though.

Depending on how bad your old tires were, it's likely that the increased tread/traction just amplified an already existing problem.

my alignment is off and i have F1's on the front. my car does it also. i think it's thr alignment more then tires...

My toe-in is horrible right now, but it doesn't follow grooves really bad. I know the car used to.......and I had F1s.

My f1's I had were horrible tires. They were the old tread design though

My F1's were great !!!

But size was a little larger than would fit a Mustang

Craig K. · 08-12-2005, 07:20 PM

my car had tracked a little with them , but I mostly attributed it to the stiff suspension
