Thread: Oversteer

To be honest it could still be the tyres.
When we first got 4wd Hiluxs at work in aussie in 2010 the biggest issue was the factory tyres were junk. Not very grippy at all. Just after I got it I tried coming in a bit hot to an intersection like I would do in my holden crewman to beat a light then thought better of it.
I slid a car length through the intersection and very lucky it had barely gone red and no one coming. This is on the new tyres under 2000ks
Absolutely shithouse on roundabouts if you spat on the road.
Everyone grizzled to OHS department and we got a change.
They sourced replacements to suit the mags and load rating
Very high silica rating for the grip.
Every hilux we got we sent to our tyre fitter and he took them off gave us about 200 a corner for them and fitted the new ones
Fast forward 45000ks and same thing. They went off.
Still had at least half the tread (got close to 90000ks out of the crewman with 2 buggered tyres and 2 almost, and I thrashed that hard), had to get another set fitted.
You could tell, it just started getting squirrely in the wet on roundabouts and withing a couple of weeks they were junk again
