My Ride: Volvo V70 D5 Summum Resently owned a 530D -05 Orentic Blue Sport Seats and Sport steering wheel.
Default

I just got my new summer wheels on and YES I know that wide tires gives more sensitive
car wheen the roads are bad an like two tracks. I have 245/40-19ET12 front and 275/35-19 ET28 rear
My car is a 530D 05 not any sport suspension

I have my car adjusted in the wheel settings for some month ago and some bushings in the rear was replaced.
I hade the winter tires on then and didn't feel this problem

The front toe is set to 0?09' and the setting value should be 0?08'
The rear toe is set to 0?17' and the setting value should be 0?18'

Can i go for more toe-in? The value settings is ?10' but recomended to go to exact value.

Have any body experiance of changing the settings for a little more toe-in?
Or could it be som more bushing which effect the stabillity

I want to have my car going straght and not in the ditch when not holding it hard.

On my other cars I've adjusted toe (toe in) to improve cornering. The only adverse affects I've had are pre-mature tire wear. If you probably adjust the toe on both sides, your car will still go straight.
