Steering heavy after tyre changed..

animalgirl

Hi MSE-ers,

I had a back wheel changed the other day on my Toyota Yaris (same size tyre as before), since then I've noticed the steering seems a lot heavier than before.

Anyone heard of this happening or have any idea what the problem could be?

I'm going to put air in the rest of the tyres tonight, just wondering if I should take it back to the garage..perhaps it's an alignment issue?

If anyone has any experience with this, any help/advice you can give is much appreciated!

Changing a tyre wont affect the alignment. If the alignment is out it will cost you.

Maybe its because it's got some grip on it. Or the pressure is a bit low?

Previous tyre over inflated?

Check your tyre pressures all round.

Thanks guys, will check the pressure tonight and go from there.
