182 not holding line in corner

[robbygraham]

I have recently upgraded to a 182, just something i have noticed when you go into a corner it doesn't seem to hold its line quite as i expected, have checked tyres for tread and pressure, all fine. If anyone has an answer to this would be appreciated, could it be to do with the esp being on?
Thanks Rob

What do you mean not holding line?

Is it understeering?

 

[robbygraham]

i'm not sure how to explain it, its not understeer, it feels like the tyre walls are flexing in the corner, this is noticeable most on roundabouts, so not even going particularly quick.

What tyres have you got? Makes A LOT of difference.

Which is the condition of your suspesion??

 

[robbygraham]

I'm not sure on the tyres currently on the car, suspension is good condition, will check to see what tyres it has on it when i'm next at home. The guy i bought the car from was a mate of mine and i reckon if he did change any of the tyres they would have been the cheapest possible, so that could be the reason.

Suprising how tyres can affect these

You may find something is loose in the suspension department i'd get the wheels off and have a look. Does it do it in one direction more than the other direction?

 

[robbygraham]

I will have a look next week when i'm back home, i need to change the discs and pads so will have a look then, i'm not sure about which direction, as its my dad thats using the car told me, but on a test drive of another clio in bristol the same thing was happening. i think it might be from rubbish tyres.

What would be an ideal tyre to avoid this then folks?

I know my car feels very strange when taking very tight turns
