HA! I was just about to comment your other post until I saw this one. Yea it was super windy today, I work next to/at LAX and it was so windy and with all the dirt from the construction I almost thought they were going to stop flights til it calmed down.

Crosswind buffeting in open spaces (i.e. highways) is unsettling at the least in this car!!!!!! I thought eggshaped cars were supposed to be aerodynamic!

Churp,I have just about everything you can get to help with this problem,rolling,and wind resitence,and I can truley say I do not have this problem any more.I would first get wider tires,I use a too wide for my car 7.5" wide tire(I sometimes scrub,also very rare),and then I would get the sway bars.Ohya,dont worry about the effect of rolling resistence on a wider tire,it has minimal effect on this car,beleive me,Ive done the trial and error,Ive changed my tires several times now,and I ve measured with scangauge2,I found minimal to no effect at all,still averaged 38-39,and could get to 43mpg on either tire,hit 45mpg on stock tires 35psi on the tire,and half tank,so thats no fluke.
And if you use a wider tire,just add 2-3 PSI this will also help to stabilize your car from side to side movment,stiffer sidewall = less body movment/roll,but that means you could break the ass end loss faster and go into a skid,but you must be aware of these things you do to make your car handle better.I use 38 PSI when using my 7.5" wide tires(50# max tire) and 35PSI on stock tires(44#max). |
