Has anyone else noticed that their steering is really sensitive to changes in the crown of the road?

Default Has anyone else noticed that their steering is really sensitive to changes in the crown of the road?

My new ultrasport pulls all over the place depending on what lane I'm in. I never noticed this with my B5 S4. I'm wondering if this is due to my ultrasport having 235 series tires compared with 225s on my B5.

Default wider tires make a difference in that respect. but its all due to the alignment.

if you are going all over the place, that is a good sign, because it is telling you that the road is not flat, like your wheels and alignment are tuned to expect.

I would go ahead and buy a new passenger seat.

Default well, in all reality, doesnt really matter if you have 17 or 18, its all about width of tire...

and generally 17's have 235's as well as 18's.
