Driving issue and oil change

I have been using my 235/50/17 Pilot A/S for more than 6 months now.
I have notice that everytime I make a left/right turn from a stop and try to accelerate really quick, the tires seems to be sticking to the road and keep pulling to the direction of the turn without reallign themself to a straight path.

is it the tires? is it the allignment set up? Toe and chamber adjustment?or is it something else?

I will do my oil change this weekend after 6k on the M1 oil and OEM filter, then Blackstone lab will analyze the oil. Amsoil here I come, thanks IWANNABMW

Mr.Bill are you still collecting this oil analysis number?

input?

Do a search for that in the 5th gen forum. Someone just did their own fix on that a few weeks ago. There is a TSB, but I believe it's only good for 36k since it is not a powertrain component.

I have seen that post, and I know how to use search.I have not been active on the board that's all.

Thanks for the info.

Hey exunaja, where do you live?? and how do you feel about your Pilot Sport A/S in the 235/50/17 size?? I'm looking to upgrade my tires to the Pilot Sport A/S in the same size (235/50/17) as you, but I live in Chicago and would like to know how they perform in snow conditions. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I live in the lone star state, Dallas to be exact we have not seen much snow lately, but to tell you the truth, I have been very satisfied.
I have more control over the car compare when I had the blowtenza.
Longer thread live, higher load rating, better overall performance of cours you are looking at $200 + per tire.
That's all I can say right now... I don't think I can see any snow anytime soon.

Yep. Just forward the results to me when you get them.
