subject: Radial Tire body roll in shut down area past finish line...SuperStock 1996 Camaro

Have tried shock settings and tire pressures of all kinds and still bad enough to scare the heck out of anybody....does anybody out there know of any cases of it being incurable ???

My '99 Camaro (LS1 stick) had some big time body roll/sway problems upon shut-down until I installed tubes in the M&H dot bias ply slicks. Under 15 psi created biggest problems for me....Never had a problem after the tube install....others I know w/4th gen Camaro/Firebird cars have also had the problem.....it almost always seemed to be a tire sidewall stiffness (lack of) problem, at least w/the bias plys... M/T bias ET Streets and ET Drags both acted the same way until tubes were added. I know you're talking radials, so maybe your problem doesn't relate to the one I had.....One other thing---make sure your wheels are wide enough for your tires. Good luck. WJ
