Guys & Golls
I've recently had fitted two rear Michelin Sport N2 Extra Load 295x30x18 on my C4S. I needed them in a hurry and it was all that was in stock at that moment. I have Michelin N1's on the front and they have plenty of life in them. I knew I should have had the same tyres put on but with the wet weather being so bad I decided to go for it rather than wait since my mate in his M3 aquaplaned and did a 360 degree on the M6 the other day luckily missing the barrier and anyone else. It was just standing water that he hit and it sent him sideways and he was well within the wear limits on his old tyres but he's just had them changed after the incident.
What I'm asking is or what my problem is that the car feels totally different to drive, not fun and feels scary and twitchy. It used to drive brilliantly and was loads of fun and easy to handle and chuck around. This now feels like the rears are steering the car and you can never tell were it's going. They also feel very soft, if I wobble the steering it's like the rear axle isn't attached and takes an age to reassess itself. Will it cure it if I get some new N2's on the front or is this the feeling of these super sticky N2's. If it is I don't think i like it and I'll have to sell them.
Any help would be appreciated, Marcus
