Hi


It may get better as the tyres wear in, how many miles have you done.

Alan

hi can anybody help me please,i have a 2000 omega 2.2cd..it was fitted with original 225 x 55 x15 wheels and tyres when i got the car i had the camber angle and castor all checked which was found to be all ok...i have now fitted oz 225 x 40 x 18 inch wheels and the car is strange to handle..its as if the car is skating on ice and it jigs from side to side on a uneven surface and even on the motorway trys to stray,,i have 28lb pressure in the tyres and have tried different pressures but not sure what to put in them,,,any ideas what to try please..thanks ray...

Yep. Toyos that I've had in the past have been particulary bad for it. Usually took 200-300 miles for the tyres to fully bed-in and cure.

225/40 x 18 are a biot small on the diameter, so this will screw the handling.

but overall, you're suffering from tramlining, which is just a function of the very small sidewall that you have. if you want to fix it, then you must use smaller wheels.

offset will of course vary with wheel width.
