Are these tyres on correctly ?

[Zippyworld]

Had my car in for a Dinitrol Underseal treatment and its driven really badly ever since. I am not sure what is going on, its like its struggling to go, friction or binding sort of thing....

I am wondering if its tyres and you can see the images, when the NSF looks like it should, you can see the design to send water to the outer edge, yet the OSF counters it.....but I still dont get how this is done....I may be barking up the wrong tree.

They are Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta

The 'band' should be on the inner edge on both sides of the car so yours looks to be correct:

[Zippyworld]

I thought that was the case, thankyou for confirming, you see my point though about the chevrons being different. Just like yours

Are they not directional? Do they not have a direction indicator on them?

[GreenV8S]

Those look like directional tyres. In that case you should have two left handed and two right handed tyres and they need to be installed on the correct side - it looks to me as if yours have got mixed up. Also note that if you have the same size front and rear these are interchangeable when they're brand new but will wear differently so might feel a bit strange if you swap front and back on a side.

Further trawling around and they are deifinitely assymetrics, they are not directional....I only have these on the front and run with P Zeros on the back. I am wondering if they have put the front wheeks back on the other side from which they were originally removed from....

If you wanted to buy these tyres there is only one design, no left, right, inside out or upside down, so as long as the writing is on the outside they are on correctly.....

Perhaps you could expand on the symptoms you're getting.

[Zippyworld]

I really cant expand, its the weirdest sensation. It feels like I am pushing something along...eill dtive it again this week and see if I can work out a better way to describe it !

Tracking/alignment? How are they wearing? Looks in the photo's like it's scrubbing the outer edge off slightly??

[Zippyworld]

The car is going in on Friday, on the ramp and wheels being balanced, I will report back. Thanks for the input.

As above, they are asymmetrical (Vredestein Ultrac Sassanta) not directional & are on correctly.

[Zippyworld]

Thats definitive, I came to the same conclusion ha ha. Thankyou

[Peanut Gallery]

Crazy thought, but are the pressures correct?

[E-bmw]

^^^^ Not crazy at all.

[trickywoo]

+2 on the pressures. Worse case you have one too hard and one too soft on the same axle. Could make it feel like that.

[Zippyworld]

Because that is so obvious I haven't even thought about it.
Will check and if its this I will have to lie.....watch this space.
