Possible tire issue Continental LX25

[DirtyGary]

I went from continental extreme contacts to Michelin primacy’s. Not that that fact matters, but I was close to going to Costco to ask my options due to the same thing you’re describing. My car wandered and couldn’t hold a straight line for a few weeks after install. I checked pressure, they had it spot on. I upped the pressure as I usually run 2 pounds over or so, it got worse. Then the condition suddenly went away….maybe give them a bit to break in?

Yeah that just sounds like tread squirm on a new set of tires.

I've had that and it's pretty wild how drastic it can feel.

what is strange is I have been on that road hundreds of times and never noticed.

Road surfaces do change, especially in the Midwest as Mother Nature can’t decide if it’s summer or new Ice Age overnight. Wreaks havoc on road surfaces

I’ve been a mechanic and installed many tires over the past 20+ years but never experienced that till my own car this last set of tires, but googling did show me it’s supposedly a thing.

Had my LX-25's rotated a few weeks ago. For the first few hundred miles afterwards they sang several different tunes on old concrete roads. 700 miles later they are quiet as a mouse. They have 16K on them. They have been rotated 3 times.

The LX25 is a heavier tire with a stiffer sidewall. It isn't your imagination but probably go with a passenger car tire to get the feel you want. I switched from the LX25 to the truecontact and couldn't be happier.
