Please help - Non-RFT Tyre Change Issue

[Ewazix]

Are the tyres by any chance uni rotational ?

The Eagle F1A2's are asymmetric hence my suggestion previously to check that the fitting instruction on the sidewall is visible, it says "outside" (or "lado exterior" if they are euro supplied). I must admit I didn't know the difference between directional and asymmetric until I got the Eagles 8)

The asymmetric labels are the first thing to check and then the balance weights to see if they're missing. Goodyear don't make tyres that make your car handle badly on purpose! Last, find out from anyone on here what pressures they run on your model with those tyres. If all that fails visit the fitter and get them to sort it with balancing/alignment/toe-in checks and if that doesn't work find someone, with all the right machinery, who does set-ups on racing cars, and if that still doesn't work ... buy some run-flats! ...

The last E89 did not give me any confidence at speed on the Autobahn last year - 100/120 ish it seemed like a constant battle. Constant correction was needed.
The dealer had just fitted new Bridgestones and I had checked all pressures with an analogue, top quality gauge.

In the Uk at Uk motorway speeds it was fine!

This is a description of (some of) the ways my Bridgestone run-flats performed.

That said, they did much worse things, too.

actually AS3's do not have "outside" etc on the outside of the tyre.. they have a big marker on the inside of the tyre, it of course says "INSIDE" haha

Thanks for all the replies guys - I've taken your advice and after 400 miles and a wheel balance at my local garage it's now all sorted!
