Re: Re: Smooth ride at 75mph ?
I had my tires replaced and alighnment done on my 96 Geo a couple of months ago and can attest to the huge difference that made in the ride when hitting 75 and 80mph, but there are some freeways out there that still can make it "wiggle waggle" a bit and I just attribute that to the size and weight of the car. I've noticed some streches of freeway have verticle grooves carved into the pavement and that's what causes mine to get a little bumpy.
But overall, nice tires and a proper alighment are well worth the money. Before I had put cheapy $19.99 Wal-Mart tires on the car and not only did they only last me like 4 years (only 25k miles w/ aweful wear), the car was always bumpy and very noisy when going high speeds on freeways. I now have nicer $45 Good Year tires that I had installed by Sears and it's like driving a new car compared to the ride I had before (they also charged me nearly $300 compared to Wal-Mart's $100 or so--you get what you pay for I guess).
