Hey all. This might be a dumb question but do wider tires in front and back of cars decrease the turn radius?
I drove my recently acquired 89 gt today and noticed when i attempted to make a U turn, i had to back up because i couldn't flip the turn. The street was wide enough and i should have been able to.
I looked at my tires and the guy who owned the car previously put 265 /35 /18 in front and 275/35/18 in the rear. The car sits well but that wide 265 in the front seems a bit too wide to my knowledge. I had these same wheels on my notchback a while back but fitted the fronts with 245s and didn't have a problem. This car is lowered. Not sure what the drop is.
I just wanted to ask because i don't feel like buying new tires. What else could it be?
