I recently put on new tires and rims on my Tbird SC 94. The tire/rim size is Nippon 17 inch rims and Nitto 555P245/45ZR17-89W.
I notice when I do high speed braking, the car acts like it does not want to stop. I realize I need too much room to stop the car. An example of this is when I am doing about 70+mph and I have to slow down quickly in ongoing traffic.
Would the tire/rim combination negatively affect the braking characteristics? I have ABS and traction control and I thought this would improve my braking but I am getting the complete opposite.
Has anyone experienced this?
I am not stopping as confidently as I would like to.
