Also, in reference to my comment regarding my experience with the Pirellis that didn't seem stable to me, maybe they are the culprit? Even though your fronts aren't showing wear, it's possible they have degraded and worn in ways that aren't easily seen. If so, they will not perform as expected and could be accentuating the darting you're experiencing. It might not be the Falkans at all. It would be interesting to know how your 718 would perform with a new set of the same Falkens all around.Bill in Bama wrote: Tue Mar 07, 2023 8:00 amGood memory, yes, the rearcwould dart left and right when throttle was applied or released. But that was due to a broken/left off bolt in the rear suspension, and once replaced the issue went away.Tom wrote: Tue Mar 07, 2023 7:40 am Tim's probably spot of about the tires, but didn't you also have a similar issue after they replaced your engine?
Thanks for all the input, I don't necessarily disagree with any of it, except my experience with the Goodyears was terrible, my 981 came OE with them and they lasted slightly over 4000miles.
Before I throw these things away I'm gonna experiment with tire pressure a bit to see if it helps. They are just a temporary measure, because I hate waste and didn't want to put four new tires on when only two were worn out. I did this with my 981, but always kept the same brand, Michelin, although for a while I had A/S rears and HP fronts, no ill effects.
"It is also important to know that while Porsche N-specification tires have been fine tuned to meet the specific performance needs of Porsche vehicles, the tire manufacturers may also build other tires featuring the same name, size and speed rating as the N-specification tires for non-Porsche applications. These tires may not be branded with the Porsche N-specification because they do not share the same internal construction and/or tread compound ingredients as the N-specification tires. Using tires that are not N-specific is not recommended and mixing them with other N-specification tires is not permissible."
