I've got a ML diesel and just got new 265/70 R17's (Hankook Dynapro MT's). Standard suspension. The look of the car is amazing now. and it gave a bit of lift too. Road noise is minimal.
It's an auto and I can notice it is much more sluggish now. Went for a 4hr highway drive the other day and noticed I couldn't stay above 100 going up hills. I was being overtaken by Semi's!!! Also noticed bad steering wheel shake when over 105k/hr. Is this what is meant by wheel wobble or should I get the wheel alignment re-done?
It's done 110k and recently had the EGR replaced. Do you think the sluggish performance is due to the tyres or other factors? ie manifold need decarboning. I just took it to the mechanic today to check out.
Edit: Just got my car back....They basically said its sluggish due to the oversized tyres I put on. Also said the manifold is most likely chocked up. Suggested I take it to a diesel mechanic to clean. No charge which was nice. Anyone know where I can take it in Brisbane to get the manifold cleaned out?
Thanks
