Well, I've fallen in love with Yukons, so I'm in the process of shopping around for a used one.
I test drove an absolute beauty that had 20' BBS wheels with 295/50R20 tires. Unfortunately, once we got to ~50 or 60 mph, the car seemed to sway left and right. I've never quite experienced this before, but it definitely felt unsafe. I'm guessing the car didn't necessarily have an alignment problem because it didn't really pull left or right. (It swayed left and right in roughly equal amounts.)
Just curious if any of you have insight regarding the Yukon's swaying behavior at freeway speeds. (For eg, is it common, what causes it, is this expected behavior with these tire dimensions, could this be an expensive fix, can it even be fixed at all, should I no longer consider buying this car, would it be worth it for me to have the owner take it in for a used car inspection, etc).
Thanks in advance.
