| Audi Silver A3 Sport Front View |
I have an Audi A3 2003 sport -1.6. I changed the original alloys to
replica 5-arm (RS4′s I think they call them?) which are 17″ (so were the
originals). At first it felt like the back of the car
was driving on ice. Until I took it to the petrol station air/tire
machine. It read 36psi all round. I then changed to 32psi. This then
stopped the ‘driving on ice’ motion which made the car feel like I
didn’t have much control-especially on corners. However, the ride isn’t
the best, feels unsettled. But is ok on humps.
Answer: When you changed the tire size, you also
changed the suspension and handling characteristics. I would highly
recommend going back to the original tires you’ll thank me for it later.
