    test drive muna and note if the steering isnt as straight..

    normally they dont touch the tie rod ends(steering)

    i'd do it if i were me.
    i don't want to wait until the tread wear pattern tells me to.

    Thanks for all the replies. Yeah, sabagay mas mahal nga tread wear kesa alignment.

    In relation to this topic, it seems matagtag pa din ang ride kahit pinalitan ko na shocks.

    Hmmm, what seems to be the problem, dati ko na ni raise ko na concern nato comparing my 2006 and 2010 fd. I got Yokohama adrives for the 2010 fd, yun Kaya reason kaya more stiff sya? It's driving me crazy haha. What else could contribute to more harsh ride my later fd kaya mga sir?

    I find it very disturbing kase yung dating tolerable na tag tag sa edsa when I drive the 2006 fd, ok naman, pero itong sa other fd, I need to slow down.

    I ditched my stiff 45 ADrives for 40 AU04s. Imagine this, the latter w/ shorter sidewall has the comfier ride.

    Naku, eto ang masakit. Medyo makapal pa naman ang tread ng adrives ko, kaso nga 3 years old na rin age. I'm thinking of trying to swap them with other tires just to check if the tires do contribute a lot to the stiffness, wag naman sana kundi yari nanaman ang budget haha

    matagtag padin.. tires sidewalls do stiffen when they age. but i think it could be your lower arm bushings. napalitan na ba?

    l recently had my bushings replaced and I feel the bushings absorb some tiny bumps...
