Had a question for folks who have run these tires. I have a new set of 19"er, probably have 1500 miles on them.
Initial impressions are good. Low road noise, good feel, improved braking. The tires they replaces had about 53K miles on them, so I would hope they'd feel better.
Have one issue I've noticed in two different scenarios and I'm not sure if it is related to the tires or a TBD suspension issue that could have happened at the same time.
1) When driving at highway speeds (60-70mph) around banked turns, or even off ramps as I'm decelerating, the truck seems to sway/lean more to the outside than it used to. I can almost feel the body leaning out instead of hugging the turn.
I can't tell if the tire does not like to be redirected at speed, or it's suspension related.
2) At times the lanes on highways are not paved evenly and there is an asphalt overlap ridge which occurs between two lanes of traffic. (near the line, but usually not exact) The truck seems to be grabbing on to that asphalt line where I used to just ignore it.
In both cases, while not causing panic it has caused me to alter my usual lazy one handed driving and put both hands on the wheel when I sense it is not handling as effortlessly as usual.
I will have my mechanic peek underneath, but was wondering if anyone else noticed this with tires. My LR3 has 216K miles on it. At this point, I sort of lose track on what suspension work I have had, when, but I have also driven just about all 216,000 of those miles so I am sensitive to changes in driving behavior.
Thanks!
