Well,i might as well add my car to the list, although i dont know what the chances would be of Honda doing anything for me as i swapped my 16" Std wheels for a set of 17" Honda Sport wheels with Potenzas when both sets had done the same milage(approx 7,000kms).I immediately noticed the car drifting right in well under this 6 secs people are talking about. Had the alignment checked and told it was all in spec.The car has done 10,500kms now and i think its gotten worse.Just for the hell of it two weeks ago i put my old 16" wheels with the non directional Dunlops on the front and went for a short run to see the result(with the 17"still on the back btw).Went down the exact same wide flat road,and guess what....no drift either way,just like it was before i added the Potenzas into the mix.
Just a bit of history here...back in the early 80's Ford produced LTD's and Fairlanes at Eagle Farm here in Bris,and i worked there.At the time there was a brand of tyre being used on them called the Uniroyal, i think from memory.
We had no end of problems with the tyre,mainly balance issues, but if i can recall, Ford had no luck getting Uniroyal to fess up and change all the dud tyres.Uniroyal stuck doggedly to their side of the story and the dealers were left carrying the can.I later worked for Mitsubishi, and they had the exact same issue with the tyre on the Sigma,and Uniroyal stonewalled on the issue with them too.Mabye they should have listened, as that tyre brand went out of existence a few years later.......Moral of the story.....dont hold our collective breaths waiting for Honda to get Bridgestone to admit any fault with the tyre.
Anyway,i'm all for calling Honda on mass next week if thats still on.
