Lol, you will get used to them, they will have a lag in responsiveness on the road but they finally catch up. It's a funny feeling. lol

 

Yeah, they're especially bad for the first couple of days until the mold release agent completely wears off.

 

And the injection nibs and ribs. Another thing that affects this is the first 32nd or two is a harder layer from getting the hottest longer during curing. Under this layer the compound is stickier.

 

All good points. I've never had a set of tires that felt "right", handling-wise, until at least a few hundred miles were on them due to these factors.

 

(first time i ever been in or had a vehicle with brand new tires) lol guess my family just always bought used tires i wanted new ones tho and can afford it so on they went i dont trust used junk anymore

 

I had a feeling man. It will happen every time you put on a new set too. It still gets me every time and I have always put on new tires. "OK is it going to straighten back out or am I going to have to steer into it?". Right away you feel an "understeer" too. lol

 

Thats what scared me lol it understeered to the point like omg im gonna hit that street light post but then like magically gained traction and pulled itself through like WHAT HAPPENED!!!! (a moron turned in the middle of a 2 way turning lane while i zoomed through it)

 

Yep that's what it feels like, there is a delay and then they grab, then coming out of the turn they do the same thing, there is a delay coming back straight again but they do eventually grab. Almost makes you want to steer into it like you are sliding sideways a bit. All normal, like I say you should feel what this is like in a big truck with 8 new drive tires and 1 inch tread rubber doing this. It is down right scary until you get used to it. lol

 

like bias ply tires i bet lol

 

Have you actually ridden on bias ply??? If so that is kind of cool for your age. Yes they handle like that. I asked because even I have a hard time remembering back to the last set I rode on, pretty sure it was on Dad's not mine yet. lol

 

not a good set but much rather like 40 year old ones and man once it picks up an uneven spot on the road or the lines be prepared

 

Oh yeah, they like to grab and follow ruts and lines for sure! They were designed when everyone only drove 45 miles an hour. Back when no one had a reason to be in a hurry. lol

 

Wish the same can be said now.... Now its just rush here and rush there but ill admit im not innocent i yell at the slow person taking a millennia to turn too

 

Also these tires are on a 1953 buick roadmaster currently and needs to be changed badly. But then again the front end needs to be aligned because you take a turn and it feels like youre grinding the tires away lol

 

Lol, nothing like nylons on a big boat!
