Lightning Member 335 Member For: 22y 4m 8d Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 16/09/04 03:54 AM Share Posted 16/09/04 03:54 AM Hi,The subject doesn't quite explain it... I have had a new tyre put on the passenger rear wheel due to accident damage. The other 3 tyres are 16 months old (17,000km). Should I take the spare out of the boot and replace the drivers rear wheel with it to balance things up somewhat? :banghead: Lightning....

Because you use your front wheels for cornering.You can always get out of oversteer, but if you understeer your f*cked.
