I have had my TE37 Ultras installed with OE Michelins for about a couple of months now. Since then I have noticed a drastic change in steering feel. The road feedback is much more noticable now. On stock wheels, everything was pretty smooth, maybe even a little numb. Now the bumps and waves on the road surface can be felt through the steering wheel at any speed. When I was doing 120mph and went over wavy concrete surface, the feedback was strong enough that I could see the steering wheel shaking. The wheels were road force balanced and there is no vibration issue on a smooth road at any speed. The Ultras are also hubcentric so there is no need for those hubcentric rings.
So do you guys think that this is normal when running wider rims (9.5") on stock 255 tires? The front wheels are also sticking out nearly 15mm more than stock with the TE37s' offsets. Could this contributed to a change in suspension geometry hence affecting the steering feedback? I usually run 40psi on all 4 tires with stock wheels. Maybe I'm going to lower the tire pressure a bit to see if there's any changes.
