try another 5-10 psi in them not all tyres r the same and c if that makes an inprovement! if your suspension and wheel allignment is a1 and nothing helps u may just have a **** set of tyres!

What pressure are other people who haven't had problems running them at? I'll try putting them up a bit more, but 50 psi seems a bit much.

On your wheel alignment print outs what is the front and rear toe set to?

Got the exact same tyre your talking about, just did a trip to syd sitting on 115 all the way with heavy showers some of the way, 40psi all round, no problem what so ever, the only issue i had was with the road at Albury on the bypass, seems the concreat there is starting to corragate and it rumbled through the whole car but thats not the tyres fault.

I got the MA-Z1s and they all have 36psi of Nitrogen in them, no problems with these tyres. My mate at work and my brother both run MA-V1s without a problem.

Yesssssss.....

Sounds just like my senator a few weeks ago, couldn't work it out till I bought new tyres!!
Checked Bush's, Checked K frame for cracks, checked wheel bearings etc etc etc.....
I thought I was going mad......lol.
Mine were not Maxxis, but still my road wondering problems have gone :)))

Bacially ur gettin wat u paid 4... well cheap tyres lol no matter wat tyre breed u got u shouldnt need 2 up the PSI at all and only being 17s they should b around 36-38 neways.

Tho if u can post up ur alighnment sheet reading im guessing the problems goin 2 b there rather than the tyres but cheaps tyres r known 4 doin things like this.
