I am unaware if you have had similar experience to my own, but I am against the fitting of "Goodyear" tyres - Diamond Tread - to the front wheels of "New Phantom(Codename for PHANTOM I)" chassis. They have a definite tendency to make the steering wobble at high speeds. The softness of the rubber tread, and so to speak unevenness of this tread, produce the same effect as a partially deflated "Dunlop" or "Michelin" tyre. Could we not point this out to customers when they order chassis with this particular make of tyre.? Ps. | ||
