Whilst driving the FF round a Roundabout

Tonight I thought my rear passenger side tyre was flat as it felt as if the car was about to go over on its side which also gave the feeling of the front drivers wheel lifting but pulled into the side of the road and tyres are fine ....

Not sure if its just getting used to 19's rather than 20's .....

44 rear you must have some super soft sidewalls there mick!! Try decreasing it a little to 40 as it will increase rear end grip and make the car more planted.

Also stick 6 2*2' concrete slabs on the drivers side of the boot Wink should even it out going round a roundabout quick! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I'm running 33 front 36 rear if I remember right.

Take it you were fully loaded then ?

I went from 18" to 19", but don't tend to "press on" as much as I did in my M5........

Could it be something to do with the road surface on that particular roundabout ? Just a thought. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Thing is lowering them will increase grip at the deficit of increased roll... What tyres are you running mick?

Even with the extra height on my MTR's i can get the back end to slide out before any hint of rolling over comes about. Fair enough its in the wet and applying some power... But in the dry when it appears the car just understeers and the dsc starts kicking in Smile FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
