Maybe if you had an EVO. I'd pay money to see it on a CSM.

9" wide wheels will cause bigger problems than understeer on a Colt if you're trying to make it handle.
If you want to stop plowing through corners get sticky tires and learn how to manage your cars weight shift - i.e. turn in delicately at first so you dont overwhelm the front corner.

Yeah, what CVD said. Bigger tires won't really help your situation. You have a FWD car, it will always plow until you address more of your suspension. There is such a thing as too much tire for a car. :wink:

Forget it I'm officially done with this car :x I have a full coil over suspension fully built motor (minus the stroking) and tranny, any small thing that breaks will be replaced, and a good tuning (with my dsmlink) is needed. All I've been trying to do lately is turn is that so much to ask. I hate when I drive a 5000lbs car and realize it can take turns twice as fast as I can :evil: maybe it has awd :lol: but wtf!!!
