I agree with Pete, but not only do you have mismatched tires, but, I think, more significantly, you have rear tires with more relative grip.
Ok cool. Then I will buy a set of matching front and make sure pressure is correct in all four tires and check back later with results. Thanks everyone!
Mine drives dead straight, even at high highway speeds with 2 fingers on the wheel. I'm running an upgraded suspension with coilivers and GT3 alignment settings though, so maybe that's the difference.
Same here and I didn't even have an alignment done last time I replaced the rears.
90 psi is crazy in the tires and may have caused permanent damage.
Tire pressure makes a big difference in these cars.
And then ...
The alignment settings matter. Some settings will favor track driving without regard for tire life. Others favor commuting for the sake of extended tire life.
The latter tends to be less stable at freeway speeds and sacrifice turn in and steering accuracy.
Did your mechanic ask how you drive and what your expectations were? If tire life isn't critical, add rear camber and toe in. But I say that without knowing what your settings are ... so I may be off track.
SANDWEDGE Did your red gauges come stock or is that a mod. I really like those.
They're available as a factory option but those on my car are FVD after market installed by the previous owner (RL member). He added a nice little touch that I don't think is available from the factory. Look closely and you'll see the "GTS" script in the middle of the tach gauge. Other than that they're absolutely indistinguishable from stock gauges. At least to me they are....
No sir. Waiting on tires to ship. they are toyo proxes 4 plus all season rear (installed) :295/30R19 100Y XL. Front will be 235/35R19 91Y XL The same toyo proxes all season. I broke up the set by ordering only rear tires. To bad because the fronts are perfectly fine. I will post them in the market. Thanks.

That has to give you chills just approaching the car much less. Fantabulous man!
no matter what tires you have if you are not running toe in up front your front end will be all over the place as it tries to tramline. Track guys go 0 toe or even positive toe up front to get better turn in response. Street driving should have a bit of toe in to keep the car tracking straight.
Can you post your alignment?
