[QUOTE="Ecc0, post: 491585, member: 20086"] ..well..I have changed my RFT's (rims and tyres) and installed Michelin tyres (same size on all wheels 225) with 18' rims..so, on recent awana breakfast ride, I have experienced that car is drifting in corners (back side only), at speed where other cars in front of me, passing same corners without such problems(i couldnt noticed), so i had to eventually slow down ..im not sure is it my tyres (brand new michelin) or wheel size, but i have also noticed that car 'dancing' at wet surface too (back side only) so literally I have to go down to 90km/h in order to stop feeling such 'backtail dance'..is that due fact that car is significantly lighter on back part (basically just driver), while nose is heavier(engine on the front wheels), or it was tyres, I couldnt tell..I know that I go with my range rover on heavy rain, easy 110-120km/h and i feel no such dancing..maybe because car is heavier (3 tons heavy empty) so friction is better..i couldnt say, but i just wanna improve my Z4 to get it right for such cornering rides..
