Default Sliding is it the tyres?

A month ago started to feel like I was driving on ice. had new rear tyres in February new front ones in May. have checked tyres pressures. It is just not holding the road as it should, some bends are now a nightmare - which makes life difficult as I drive over the Cat & Fiddle everyday!. I have not done that many miles since I had new tyres about 4,000. don't recall clouting anything could it be the tracking? this was done, as was the balancing, when I had new front tyres.

Car was serviced in April this year.

Help!!!!

Something sounds bent.

How are the tyres wearing?

Is it slipping front, back or generally?

What tyres do you have?

tyres are wearing pretty evenly, got my dad to check them. it is hard to tell how its slipping the back end is definitely twitching.

Tyres well ok bear with me i am a woman...... Michelin on the back new in Feb Semperit on the front.

I think something is bent too guess will have to bite the bullet and take it in to the garage.

Any other suggestions??? probably need better tyres too!!!

What pressure have you got in the tyres? It's worth checking them again using a different tyre gauge just in case the first was out.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I think it is time to take it to the garage the rumbling noise just got a lot worse think it may be bearings.
