Hi all
I recently put my stock Eagle RSA tires back on, and had a full alignment and balance done at the same time.
Going down a flat/level road everything is perfect. But when I get on a road that has a side to side gradient on it, the car wants to follow the gradient. For example, the "fast lane" on the 401 is sloped from right to left in many spots, with the right side being higher. This causes the car to want to go left, so I steer right to counter it. Moving into the middle lanes, which are more level, the car travels straight again without any pressure on the steering wheel.
I have noticed this before, and always thought it was an alignment or other issue. But when I put my Michelin X-Ice on for the winter the problem went away. Going back to my RSAs, the problem has returned.
I am thinking this has something to do with the fact that the tread pattern is not the some on the inside and outside edges of these tires. Any thoughts on this? Anyone else notice this behaviour? Is it just normal for these tires?
