since my 24000 mile service my 172 has gone from slow, to wheelspining in 1st and sometimes 2nd and has loads of torque steer, it also feels a hell of a lot faster, i do need new front tyres but it was never like this before the service. any guys have torque steer when accelerating hard?

I know what you mean Ben, but overall the uniroyals are huge improvement on the contis. Maybe its the stiff sidewall that was causing the heavy tramlining and torque steer.
I run the fronts and backs at a couple more PSI and that seems to have helped, feels very stable if you do 60 and swerve side to side (on a quiet country road obviously)

dosent have traction control!!
Interesting thought though. The tyres wouldnt just start spinning after ths service. There may have been a change made by renault to ecu? or maybe there is an inbuilt instruction for the engine to be allowed to run better after a given milage?
