I thought this post looked familiar. I was just reading the S197 Forums' "Whats your alignment?" thread.

185/40/18 tire? Oi? Or did you mean 285/40/18?

Holy frijoles...you're running 285s on the front?! The outer shoulder wear must be epic...but I bet it sticks like a leech too!

If you're really going hard core for feedback, EPAS is electric and there's probably a little plug somewhere that would completely zap any assist...

If you want to feel true "Pole Position" steering, try my 2010 Charger AWD. Feedback? Psst. Feedback is for those that can't use the Force to make it through a corner.

It it pretty good but still not as good on the 285/40/18 KDW2s as it does with the 275/35/18 Nitto NT01s

This is why I now have 3 sets of rims and tires, summer, winter and track.
