Title: Tyre recommendation Post by: Fraze on November 27, 2016, 09:47:12 AM I am looking for a tyre recommendation for my FC sedan, stock wheels. Currently i have fitted 185/70R13 Maxxis and I find that the steering is unmanagably heavy at low/parking speed. I am running 35psi and even that pressure doesn't help. What is your experience? thanks Fraze.

Narrowest and tallest radials you cam get are the go for stock cars on my opinion. Have you had an alignment? Your front suspension may have a lot of caster set. This makes for great highway tracking but heavy low speed manoeuvring.
