Tyre rotation problem
I Rotated my tyres front to back today, As the manual stated a rotation every now and again to keep rolling radius of the tyres close to each other.
All the tyres are matching and all were fitted at the same time.
All have a even wear across the tyre with no shoulder wear,
Rear tyres have 5.5mm and front have 5mm.
After fitting I checked then corrected the all the tyre pressures front and back.
Front was 34, corrected to 32 and fitted to rear
Rear was 32, corrected to 34 and fitted to front.
Now you would think the car would drive the same, But it doesn't!
Car is tramlining and feels less settled to drive.
Only thing I can guess that could be causing this is that the tyres have worn into there position on the car and now don't suite the new position.
But what puzzles me is there's no visible cambered wear to the tyres.
So do I keep using them in new position and hopefully they settle in or swap them back?
Anyone else had this problem?
