Problems with my tires
 

Why do my tires jerk when I turn at very low speeds? Has anyone experienced this problem? What can be done to correct it. Thanks in advance

It happened to me a few times when I'm turning really slow and then I give it gas a bit to quick ..just don't give it to much gas until ur straight again

Thanks for your reply but that isnt it, I am literally going 3MPH and they start jerking as I turn

It is normal, especially if you have wider wheels/tyres.

Read up on akerman steering and scrub radius. The Z34 front end will not give a perfect turn - there needs to be a bit of slip and that is what you can feel, especially a low speed.

Nothing to really be concerned about.

Wide tires. Steering geometry. Edit: And cold weather.

Yes. You can find numerous accounts on this site.

Very wide summer tires get cold in the winter. You don't notice it in the summer because the tires are soft. But in the winter, when they get cold and stiff, you'll feel and hear the outer edges of the tires "skipping" when you are making sharp turns at low speeds because the outer edge of the tire has to travel much further than the inner edge.

It goes away after a few minutes of driving and the tire warms up. It also goes away in the spring when the tire isn't cold and stiff.

Also, get a set of winter tires if you plan on driving in cold temps.
