SP 9000 and wondering?
« on: 20 November 2007, 10:19:28 »
Hi all what do you think it could be i have had a set of sp 9000 fitted to the front of the car for the MOT a few weeks ago. Since then the car has been wondering on uneven road , fine on the motorway. The MOT guy check for play and wear all ok and had the tracking and camber set up.

Have any of you had the same prob with these SP 9000.

I am thinking of moving them round to the back and see if that help.

I have also check the P.s.i and all ok?

Thank, s for the help.

Oddly, don't really get this, except on inside lane of motorways (lorry ruts) or real naff lanes.  Having 235s, mine should be prone to tramlining.

I use SP9000 all round...

Quote from Sunday Times in september this year whose Omega was all over the road!!
The reader had fitted "Hankook Ventus Prime"


"Black Circles (0845 620 2000, www.blackcircles.com), the tyre retailer,
suggested the tyre you have could be more prone to tramlining (following
contours in the road) because of the tread pattern. When you next change, go
for one with a more asymmetric pattern that will aid straight-line stability,
such as the Pirelli Pzero Rosso.

Dunlop SP9000 are very asymmetrical...

Once the 'sheen' was off (couple of hundred miles), absolutely fine.  I actually now tend to use SP9090 which doesn't need that 'running in'

Excellent grip, but life isn't the best...
