Here are my new 18" Rims with Kuhmo Tires

18's, they look so good, but I could never live with them.

 

[SaabBus]

Why Not Raven!?

 

[Raven18940]

pot holes

 

[jedi_master58]

Nice rims!! Yes I kinda agree with Raven on that subject, also don't the 18's change ride quality drastically? I could be wrong.

 

[XAAMOTTOMAAX]

No not drastically. Subtly perhaps.

 

[xalfa]

Looks great Saabbus

 

[SaabBus]

actually the ride quality isnt bad at all... the corners may even be better, but i do agree with the pot holes, i guess i will have to live with them swerving around all the time

 

[Chris 9-5]

They are really cool

Alloys

Very nice, I wouldnt want to clean them though

 

[PeterGibons]

Those rims look great! I have always been a fan of BBS wheels.

 

[SaabBus]

Thanks guys for the compliments but I have recently discovered that while driving my car sometimes kicks to the right, sounds odd but its almost like the steering wheel pulls my hands that way... any suggestions?

 

[Chris 9-5]

The wider the tyre the worse the tramlining effect, mine does it if I hit the painted line in the road, could it be this?

 

[SaabBus]

Actually i am quite possitive its when i step on the brakes fairly hard.

Warped rotor i'm afraid, are they the originals?

Warped rotor i'm afraid, are they the originals?

Not so sure, usually a warped rotor(s) cause a juddering vibration through the steering wheel when applying the brakes, rather than a pull in one or the other directions.

A pull indicates a reaction to a force imbalance, i.e. the brake force against the dive resistance of the suspension that is incorrectly set, causing the pull.....I'd be looking at getting a suspension/steering geometry check done.

 

[SaabBus]

i was afraid thats what it was, as much as i love driving my saab there has been a bunch of problems already :x Transmission blew, smoke coming out of the engine, an now this confusion. o well

 

[Raven18940]

Did you get an alignment with your new tires?

 

[Automaggot]

If I'm not mistaken, those are ASA AR1s.

Oh, they look like BBS.
