Jip. Only realised now how easily this car wants to break the speed limit, as previously I got reminded by a wobble that I was going too fast. Now it just goes

well they are very slippery on dirt - I had lots of fun when I was still driving it to work everyday.

They showed no interest to take the tyres from me for testing......

Well, fortunately there are other suppliers with better products AND who take an interest in servicing their clients....
Hopefully members who seek advice on choice of tyres picks this thread up!

I only experienced the wobble over 120km/h so it wasn't that bad.
I will donate them FREE to anybody who wants them, I don't want them as they take up space and I don't gamble with safety - they have lots of tread left and may be fine for a farm bakkie run around or so.
Onus is on you to fetch them or arrange collection.

I had a similar problem until (I hope) Saturday.
I went to have my wheels balanced and left replacing shocks.
The shocks were replaced were installed in October last year. Am I allowed to state the brand name? All the oil in the one on the driver side leaked out.
The fitment centre promised to discuss with the supplier.
I suppose asking what shocks I should have fitted will generate as much answers as shocks available.
