The only problem I have now is that my car goes to the left when the wheel is straight? I had my car 4 wheel aligned so I don't know what It could be?
I take it the car stays in a straight line when you lift your hands frm the wheel? If it does then despite the 4 wheel alignment you had a bit of a numpty "technician" that didn't centre the steering wheel correctly when he did the front wheel alignment. Alternatively if the car "pulls" to the left if you let go of the wheel whilst travelling in a straight line (allowing for road camber and such things as the tyre pressures all being correct) then the alignment hasn't been done properly.

In my experience wheel alignment is an art in itself and a lot of places that do alignment haven't got a clue. There's a good forum here about wheel alignment. Join it and post your issue and someone will advise you accordingly. http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Best place to have a 4 wheel alignment done is someone with a "Hunter" system that has been properly trained. They will even tell you how much fuel to put in the tank before they will do the alignment.

Yes I replaced my two fronts with these a few months ago and must admit mighty impressed with them very sure footed in the wet and also very good rim protection.

So here, in my country, I only get 235/45/r18 Goodyear's F1.
Will it fit right? My ROC is lowered with eitbach.

Just got 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 2.
Can't praise them enough for grip and ride comfort.
Stick in the wet and dry.
Can't comment on wear due to not having them long!
On corners I used to understeer I can now got full throttle with none at all! :clap:

Most places will offer free wheel alignment but will only adjust one side, which does not work. I would take it somewhere that specialises in wheels mate.
