- MG4 SE SR
Reading your query and some of the responses, I am somewhat surprised at this event. I've had my MG4 SE for a year now with none of these issues. The car came with High spec Continental tyres and I run them at 3.0 BAR when cold. I find that they perform better than the standard pressures. I had issues with the Nissan Leaf whereby I ran those tyres 0.3 BAR above recommended as the tyres were wearing more on the outside than the middle. My 4 has done 14000 miles and the tread wear is perfect. I hope this helps in some way.Had a scare yesterday, coming down an onto a motorway ramp and accelerating up to merge at 70mph with a slight left turning motion. Before I could merge the right hand side of the car lost traction and started fish tailing. It was dry, just a slight turning motion on the wheel but it gave me a scare. I recovered but that's the fastest I've been travelling when that happened. I've had similar at slower speeds when applying a turning motion at slower speeds and the back has kicked out.
Is it the stock Chinese tyres or is there something wrong with the handling I should contact the Garage about?
Thanks!
