I can't think of why tires alone can affect the steering mechanism in any other way. I'm also running Enkei Fujin (7.5 width ET40) wheels and my camber is at -1.4 front (with camber bolts) and -1.3 rear. My alignment was done at an earlier date and I didn't notice much change in steering feel at that time, the only variable here are the PSS tires.
Maybe I'm missing something here? Anyone knowledgeable feel free to chime in  |
Thanks for your input!
I agree that the wider tires/better grip compared to stock makes a difference. I noticed that with my first set of super sports...what has shocked me is how different the car feels now with a new set of same tires. I haven't had a chance to go back to the shop, but my guess is that they adjusted the camber in the front and that is what I'm noticing.
