Just swapped my 225 rear tires with 245 after some drift fun. Seems like I need to do a new alignment, bcus the car isnt handling very well. Is this normal? Previous cars I've had, this hasnt been any issue at all.

 

Yes I find the same thing. I had my car setup for the track with about 2mm toe out. At the end of the day one wheel was at 5mm toe out.

Sad! Why is this happening? Kinda annoying if u want two setups, either she handles lika a bitch on the track or on the street :S
OR spend alot of $$$$$ on alignment each time u need to change rims/tires

 

your toe setting will not change with a wheel/tire change

new tires need to be scrubbed in before they start handling well

 

TeamRX8, I dont think he was getting at the tyre change causing it. I think he was saying that the drifting did it. And I find the same thing. Track days and drifting on the skid pan cause my alignment in general to go out.

Biotoxin, a setup who's aim is to handle well on the road will also handle reasonably well on the track. A setup who's aim is to specifically perform well on a track is unlikely to handle well on the road.
