Feels like the car is all over the road

[Trackzero]

Does anyone have any ideas? Over the last couple days it seems that the car is all over the road, even though the wheel is not moving. I was originally worried maybe I had a lug nut coming loose. I will be driving straight and then the car will feel like it pulls a few (4 to 6) inches to a side. If anyone has any thoughts I would love to hear them. This is most noticeable around 25 to 45 mph.

Thanks

The curve of the road has a lot to do with it sometimes? Tire pressure?

It is doing it on roads I drove daily all summer, so I don't think that is it. The Tire Pressure is consistent too, I have the nitrogen from G-Mans shop, and it hasn't changed as far as I can tell. Thanks though!

Generally cars tend to pull when there is a problem with ball joints and or control arms, when tie rods are bad cars "wonder" when tires are bad you usually get a wobble or tire pull (meaning belt shifted) but define wonder? This is mostly on rear wheel drive vehicles.

Well, I took it into the shop today, and apparently both the front and rear tires are done. I am not really sure how the rears could possibly be shot already I JUST got the put on in April of this year. I don't do burnouts or anything like that either.

Has anyone else seen the P Zeros go that quickly?

How many miles? They seem to be a 20-30k tire.

If you got them in April of this year, don't go aggressive driving, don't race and they were new when you got them -- outside of a ton of miles, very aggressive surfaces, etc, then I'd say you might have some suspension problems.. PZeros should last longer than 6 months unless you're beating the piss out of them or are driving on a cheese-grater.

I got 2 years out of mine (18-19K miles), and 1.5 of that was with 560 tire HP, many 1/4 mile passes, full on ice/snow driving, Road America, and many burnouts...

I got over 25000 on the factory ones. I haven't changed my driving habits out locations. I also got an alignment done from Deerfield tire when they installed them, so I don't think it should be an alignment issue.

[HumanWiki]

Did Deerfield do this recent install to replace the short life ones or did someone else do it? I would think they would be able to look at the wear patterns on the tires and have an idea of how they got that bad... Usually, they all have tell-tale signs of their life.

If they're not the ones that installed then, I'd have your car checked out then.. Something doesn't add up.. PZeros are a relatively short-life tire comparatively speaking, but they're not THAT short.

I am on my 3rd set of stock tires. Only have 22,000 on the car. But I entirely blame my driving habits

And so you should blame your driving habits! You probably went through a set at the Rockford speedway alone!

Well the guy at the tire shop I went to said he thinks it is an alignment issue. uploadfromtaptalk1351119641220.jpg
Guess I need to get to the bottom of what happened here, since I got these tires new in April and an alignment done at the same time. Something had to have gone wrong somewhere.

I really wish it was Buenos or that type of driving, but I save that for the strip, with my drag radials.

[Trackzero]

Well I meant burnouts, not Buenos. Stupid auto correct.

Oh wow, those are bad. Hopefully its just a simple alignment and not a bad part. And yes I have a track setup now as well haha.
