Front and rear tyres question.
I've got a new (old) car (Mk3 Golf) which had fat alloys and low profile tyres on.
It was a nightmare to drive - wandered all over the place. I had the tracking done it was way off but when corrected it still wandered if the road was
at all cambered or uneven.
As an experiment I put the rear tyres on the front and the back on the front. Enormous difference. Why would this be?
The ones which were on the front had a V shaped pattern and a direction of rotation arrow. The ones which are now on the front have a conventional
pattern and no direction of rotation markings.
Any answers?
Cheers
Dave

Are they all the same width?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Yes
All the same width and measurements.

Is it due to different tyre wear - possibly down to the tracking? The fronts will have worn badly on the inner / outer edges and the rears might feel
better on the front if they have a more even wear rate.
