Sadly Passed Oct 2024 - RIP
Check out rick-w's 'Broken Wheel' thread for an example of the sort of thing you've massively increased the risk of by running your tires at pressures that high!! :shocked: And I'm pretty sure rick's tire wasn't anywhere near 35 psi! :lecturef_smilie:
Then when you add in the rapid tire wear; the lack of traction; the dangerous understeer if you ever ride hard; the damaging shock loads being transferred into your suspension, your Spyder, and you with all the other risky stuff it brings..... running pressures that high in an auto tire under a Spyder might feel (to the untrained/unaware anyway!) that you get more direct steering, but there's ample physics & physical proof that this is not actually the case!! I'd suggest that if you had 'squirmy steering' &/or directional control issues with the Q5's at 22 psi (or even at 16 psi for that matter! :shocked: ) then either you're too tense & over-controlling your Spyder or there's something else wrong with your Spyder (wheel alignment or maybe dodgy ball joints, worn tie-rod ends?? :dontknow: ) and all that you've done by increasing your tire pressures to something likely a tad higher than that necessary to carry a full sized auto is to have masked the problem under the rock hard ride and by doing so you've massively increased the risks & the potential for greater damage to you, your Spyder, and any other road user who might happen to cross your path/use the road around you!! :gaah:
Amen Peter, .... we can advise and try to lead ...... but we can't make them follow :dontknow:.......Thanks ..... Mike :thumbup:
