Hey folks, I know somwhere in the old forum there was a discussion on this but I can't seem to find it

does anyone know the website for calculating how far off your spedometer is gonna be with different size tires?
I just put on 195/60/15 and i was just curious..
also, after the tires were put on, my car started pulling to the left, any ideas whats causing this?

and finally, any recommendations on brake pads? ceramic vs kevlar versus whatever the hell NAPA sells?

as always, any help is gretly appreciated

as far as the pull... you either need an alignment, or you got a bad tire off the shelf and it's out of round

speedo won't be too much out of synch. nothin REAL noticable

 

thanks for the website mano.. appreciate it

i hope its not a bad tire... i bought them off a guy for 130 bucks CDN they got about 85-90% tread left

there any way to tell if te tire is messed up?

 

If you changed the size of your tires, you probably need an allignment.

 

really eh?

does anyone have an explanation for why you need an alignment done everytime you get new tires?
if the tires are balanced correctly and everything, wouldn't they ft the alignment fine?

 

as for pads... EBC Greenstuff all the way... should call them "greatstuff"

 

what kind are they, whats so great about them, and where cna i get them?

I thank you good sir..

my dad forced me to get my brakes changed today... but theres this squeaking sound coming all of a sudden... its there even when i'm not hitting the brake.. is that normal? not that any squeaking is normal but when you get new brakes (rotors and pads) is that normal to have?
