Re: Torque Steer? I think not. 850 95

Well VolvoFan, I'm sure you're an expert, but I'll disagree. Some preformance tires will follow imperfections in the pavement. Torque steer comes in under hard acceleration. That's where I felt it in the S60 T-5. I drove it on some rough pavement and when cruising it tracked well.

And it's not a Cavalier were talking about here, it's a $37k performance car. Whatever you want to call it, I don't think one should have to continuously fight the car and make corrections to the wheel...it should go where it's pointed. If you want comparisons, try a BMW with low profile tires. You won't find any problem with it trying to steer right or left on acceleration.
