This is my first posting on this forum...so, Hello to all! I have recently noticed that my steering wheel has become way to easy to turn infact, I feel as if I am putting in an extra rotation or have the wheel locked to make a simple turn? I also notice a great reduction in the steering pressure when I come to a complete stop and when I check the position of the steering wheel in relation to the tire's position, they seem out of whack! I put on a set of Kuhmos 712 215 55 16s about a month ago but I don't think it's the tires. The steering just seems to be really easy to turn...I can easily do it with one finger? Reversing I only have a vague idea of how the car is lining up in a parking space. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
I also have a problem with the car's rolling resistance. I have noticed that ever since I got my four brake disks replaced (under warranty) that there seems to weird dynamic where when I let off the gas the car feels as if I have applied the brakes...it slows down a lot quicker than I am used to? Especially going over speed bumps or heavy traffic...it almost instantly comes to a stop no need for brake application. It also seems that I have to give it extra gas to get moving...where in the past the car was really peppy and rolled so smoothly? I have had the tires off and the disks are wearing fine? I also noticed the same issues when I had my snow tires on?
