  4. New tyres = heavy steering?

    HI, not sure if this is an actual problem or not but basically just replaced all 4 tyres, an thought I'd give the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's a go on the front. However since I've had them on I've noticed the steering has felt quite heavy, checked all the pressures and they were at 32psi, so...
