Hi, All..
I got my new set of wheel today at Pepboy. After market brand, Hankook 195/60 15R 88H for my 2002 hatch back si. I went with a after market brand and cheaper rating ( stock was Michellen 195/60 15R 88V rating) because I couldn't afford $170/tire. I hope this doesn't effect much on daily driving performance.

Anyways.. I decided to do the alignment at the Honda Dealerb/c some of my friends said something like alignment is very important therefore go to the Honda expert. I'm scheduled to do one tomorrow morning but here are my worries.

So Itestdrove withnew tires today and it drives really funny. My sterling wheel seems like it does have much control over my tires and don't have much grips. Meaning I used to drive with my one figer tip andwas able tocontrol the movement. But now I really gotta be careful b/c my caris so unstable.
It reminded me of drivinga badamerican rental car.[:@]
Before when I had old tires and even with a major accident, my car had better grip then it does now!
I thinking once alingment is done my car should gain its grips.
What do you think?

And my questions are
1)would this be fixed once I get my alingment?
2)can the H rating tires minimize the control over sterling wheel?
3)is it true you can't regain the performance after new parts?
does your sterling wheel grips loose after changing your stock tires?

Thanks and I'll let you guys know after alignment works.
I can't wait to find out tomorrow..
