just got some new alloys after never having them before, just wanted to know if the following things were normal,

1) the steering wheels kind of wants to go to one side
2) feel bumps in the road alot more
3) when on a bumpy road, steering wheel moves slighty

1) The tracking is out, go get it sorted by a garage ASAP so that your tyres don't die in minutes.

2) Normal, alloys have low profile tyres which don't cussion the bumps in the road so much.

3) Trackings definately out, go get it sorted. Tomorrow!

tracking wont cause a pull. check the pressures.

wheel moving would be down to offset

It's the front wheels, they aren't pointing in a straight direction. I killed a tyre in 50 miles when my tracking was out.
