2.0d N15 experience & ideas?

[Ljubo]

Hi all,

well I am a fresh owner of the one in subject and would have foew questions...

1) Car has 15" alloys with 155/65 (or something like that) tyres. But, car is `tough` on the road, it feels well every bump on the road. Suspensors are OK. Should I try to get some different kind suspensors? Which one?
2) Also, I think due to tyre dimensions, the car 'knows' to suddenly push on a side of the road. It happens only if the road is not perfectly flat. Is it because of the tyres, cure for that?
3) I will have to buy winter tyres soon, which brand / dimension you suggest?
4) My beauty is diesel one... it has economy of 6l per 100km, that is ok. I am driving it in range of 2.000 - 3.000 rpm. Is it OK? Suggestions?

More questions to follow up...

Thanks!

Ljubo

As I found out on some other forums best option for winter tyres will be Tigar Wintera. I also saw them on couple of cars in UK.

Anybody of you people from Uk have any experience with this tyre?

TIGAR tyres

Yes, I`ve heard also people telling good things about TIGAR WinterA tyres.

As far as I am concerned, I am not going after some brands, it just have to suits me well during winter times.

What about other questions?

Sorry, tyre dimensions are:

1. front pair :> 195/55 15"
2. rear pair :> 195/50 15"

Looking forward to your oppinions...

i believe that your tyres should not be the cause, as they have a large sidewall which reduces tramlining (following of camber in the road)

Huh... I would like better if I could blame it on tyre dimensions.


Are you sure it is not their fault? I got several oppinions to blame it on tyre...

It would be not good if something else is wrong.
What could it be then?
