Could tell how cold it's been for the last couple of days my cars been juddering on full lock going forwards. First time it's done it going forwards since I put Goodyear Eagle F1s on, only normally does it when reversing and only very slightly
The run flat continentals I used to have on did it all the time, do not rated or recommend these tyres, wheel spin was awful understeer was terrible and the road noise unbelievable and not to mention the crabbing/scuffing effect.

Goodyears have more or less stopped all these problems, only does it now when it's icy conditions otherwise they are fine.
Must of been the harder tyre wall on the run flats that was the culprit of my cars juddering

You have a A250 Ben?

Interesting that even with the suspension geometry on your car you get the juddering. And made worse by run-flats that are something I would never contemplate on a car.
 
My car seemed to suffer from this excessively, so I've had a full wheel alignment done and my tie and camber were out. Whilst it's not eliminated it it is a lot better, and bearable. This said it's also been a bit warmer so can't be 100% sure.
 
Mine does it the first time I do a full lock coming off the drive or a parking space in the morning or at night when the temps drop, then it will not do it for the remainder of the drive. It is definitely due to the cold weather it started doing it end of october/beginning of november time. Quite loud and noticeable.

It is an A250 FL as well, service A is booked for March so will get it checked out then.
 
I know I only have a 250 however this is still relevant. I had a screw in the sidewall of my rear tyre last week not repairable. The car was new last October and fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres.
Bad bumping poor wet grip and noisy. Local tyre fitter suggested Dunlop Sportmax RT.
I was looking at Michelin Pilotsport 4s but a lot more money so went for 4 Dunlops.
All I can say is wow great grip quiet and hardly any tyre bump. I would recommend giving these a go and ÂŁ50.00 cheaper than Michelins.
