Replying to: qbrozen (Feb 02, 2005 11:38 am) "Cupping can be caused by an unbalanced tire condition, faulty wheel bearings, loose parts, fatigued springs or weak shock absorbers. Check the condition of the shock by forcefully bouncing the front end of the car several times and releasing it on the down stroke. Failure of the vehicle to settle after two strokes suggests worn shocks or struts."

Replying to: espo1 (Feb 02, 2005 1:37 pm) They are designed for performance at the expense of wear. BMW, Audi, Porshce and some Mercedes use Max performance (which is the final step above Ultra High performance) "summer tires" -- my wife's second TT tires were basically "gone" at 13,000 miles and the car was maintained "by the book" at the dealer. The Acura NSX and some of the Porsche's needed new rubber sometimes as soon as 6,000 miles. I had a set of Pirelli tires ONE TIME, that sacrificed themselves for my "driving pleasure" by about 8,000 miles. I have since switched to UHP tires and can now exceed 20,000 miles without concern about the tire's efficacy. Now, I find it difficult to believe that the 300C would have such Max performance tires (the SRT-8 MAYBE) -- this cupping is caused as noted above. I would hope that the 300C's OEM tires would go over 25,000 miles with relative ease. |

I have a 300C w Continental Self Sealing tires. On the tires it says: Maximum tire pressure 51 Lbs. It doesn't say what the optimum pressure is. The sticker on the car does not name that tire specifically but the size and suggests somewhere around 34 if I remember correctly. 2300 miles on my car in winter driving. Only problem is broken knob on the Nav system wh they w fix. Very solid car. Fun to drive. Quiet if the Boston stereo isn't going full blast. Acceleration is outstanding. It even sounds as "bad" as it looks. It's too bad that some people get a lemon. Mine is no lemon. If mine were, I can understand how my thoughts and feelings would be jaded. I hope Chrysler "makes good" for people. They have called me three times to ask how things were, plus one mail in survey and two phone surveys. What can I say??? Oh yea, I drove on salt covered roads and didn't wash it for a week. Today after the car wash I looked / touched the rims and their edges etc and saw no pitting that someone else complained about. Maybe they drove through an acid spill. A damp then dry cloth got rid of water spots. |
