I realize this is an old thread, but archive & info is very good.
My challenge is I just put new non run flats on the rear, and running good run flats on the front. Prior to new tires handling was fine. Shop tweaked alignment with new tires.
The only way I know to describe it is the handling is "fussy". There's a lot of wheel correcting as I drive two lane winding road 40 miles per day.
I went to another specialty alignment shop & they were very careful on the alignment specs, but... Handling is better but still not right IMHO.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Oops! 2000 convertible w/ less than 50k miles.
