After changing to new tires, the steering feels heavier. I always used Continental CPC2, but switched to Goodyear Assurance (also did a wheel alignment). It doesn't veer off course, but the steering feels heavier, and the accelerator is also heavier. For those who've changed tires, how do you feel about it? Also, a reminder: wheel alignment is a maintenance service, not mandatory. If you choose to do it, make sure to check the shop's equipment and skills. I feel it wasn't really necessary this time.

Can a wheel alignment be done if the rear tires of a 2015 Sportage are wearing unevenly?
I just got the 2022 T8 top model, and the road feel is really strong. The steering wheel feedback is quite intense, constantly feels like there's a slight vibration. Also, when reversing at low speed with the steering wheel fully turned, there's some shaking. The dealership says it's normal. Could it be related to the tires?
Hey guys, my Land Cruiser tends to pull the steering wheel when driving on bumpy roads, and it doesn't feel very stable. I've already done a wheel alignment, and the mechanic said there's nothing wrong. Is the steering wheel pulling a normal phenomenon?
4After replacing the front suspension arms on my 2014 compact car, the steering wheel feels much lighter and not as stable as before. I took it to a repair shop, and they changed the valve core, saying it was a tire pressure issue. However, the light steering feel returned shortly after. I've already done wheel alignment and balancing, but haven't changed the power steering fluid. What could be the reason for this?

6Has any owner of the 2019 model replaced their tires? Did anyone in the forum also switch to Continental tires?
7Do you have the issue where the steering wheel is straight, but the car veers to the left?

9Has anyone done a wheel alignment? My City has uneven wear on the left rear tire and slightly pulls to one side. I've heard that the City’s rear wheels are non-adjustable and you can only add shims during alignment. Is this safe? Also, is it necessary to do a wheel alignment since the tires are quite cheap? 🤦♂️
10I recently bought the 2024 Tiida Intelligent Edition and it's my third time driving on the highway. When I reached 130 km/h, I noticed that after exiting the highway, the steering wheel needs to be slightly turned to the right to go straight. If I keep it centered, the car veers to the left. Is this normal? Also, is getting a wheel alignment expensive?
