V6 Amarok Handling on Wet Roads
Hi All,
I've had my Sportline for a few months now and have noticed an unnerving trait on wet roads and I'm not sure if it's the OEM tyres or an Amarok specific trait.
My ute has the stock 18 inch wheels fitted with Continental Cross Contact tyres. I notice that when turning at low speed on wet roads there is a lot of understeer on roads I'm very familiar with at normal conservative speeds I'd travel in any car. It's most noticeable turning at at tee intersection or a round about where you don't come to a complete stop before turning in. Straightline grip on wet roads under fairly heavy acceleration is actually pretty impressive so not sure what's going on. Currently using VW recommended tyre pressures and no load in the tray.
Any other Amarok owners noticed anything similar ?
Cheers
