Ride quality question with low pro tires
As you may know, I have 19's with lower profile tires. I've noticed the ride quality is not as good with the larger 19's on the car then it was with the stock 18's. I'm no dumb dumb, I know this is expected do to the loss of rubber, but it isn't bumps that I've noticed. When I'm driving around, every little uneven surface, or groove in the road seems to cause my G to pull with it. I know less rubber causes greater contact/tighter handling with the road, but it seems like I'm in a constant struggle to keep the car on a straight path. Could there be something else wrong here, or is the car just glued to the road, and 99% or roads are flawed in some way? I'm starting to miss the comfort of the 18's, anyone want some 19's for a good price j/k

what you describe highly depends on the actual tires you bought. Tread design has alot to do with it. I've had some tires that you get no pull and others that are pretty bad, as you said though, lower profile tires does tend to make it worse to some extent.

Did you adjust the camber at all when you put the new tires or wheels on? If so, more negative camber will make your car channel (I believe thats what it is called) in the grooves in the road. Kinda scary but on the flip side your car should handle better in the corners.
