Slow sharp turns question

jrock · 12-23-2013, 03:05 PM

Hey just got my car and had a question. On slow sharp turns like when I pull out of my driveway, there is a clicking in the steering. That's the best I can describe it. Like it feels choppy. Was wondering if that was normal and what the function was. Thanks.

Totally normal, see your owners manual....

Section 10-46 of the owners manual describes the UHP Summer only tire.If the temperature is below 40 degrees the tread compound becomes hard and can cause slow speed turn tire hop/chatter. There are many posts in this section of the forum that discuss the summer only tires and alternatives.

ya but its kind of embarrassing, when you have people in the car, love the tires though...

this is pure ignorance, but do non z51 have this issue or is it less pronounced? are they the same tires besides size?

Is this when you back out real slow tires turned all the way and it feels like you hit a wet or ice spot kind of? Like it slip then bumps.
