Low speed tire scrub. Worry or not?
My summer tires had run out of tread on my 2002 E320 Benz.
I picked up a set of used (50%) tread left Continental Contisportcontact 5p. 235/40/18. Here in Japan used tires are ok to resell and the set I bought was good.
Tire shop balanced them easily and they ride smooth and handle nicely no vibrations.
However in the morning when I pull out of my parking space ( temps in the 40s ) at full lock. I get this very strange tire scrub/hop feeling.
I never experienced it before in all the cars I owned. Normal? Are Continentals extra sticky and need to be warmed up? I’ve had two sets of summer tires on this car before without any issues.
