Tiers and launch control

Hello,

As for the issue thats happening around the world.. I have waited 2 months to get the same stock tiers but couldnt wait anymore so I have a made in China tiers with the same size front and rear.

Launch control feels different... the car keeps on farting on gear change while in launch control which never happened before...

Is it really the tiers or maybe tier pressure or could it be something wrong with the gear?

Thanks

I'm laughing while responding to this @ OP it isn't you but the SupersixM response has me rolling 🤣..

Ok first off I think it's a big no no to put cheap tires on fast cars... I love my life and value everyone else's so yeah.. as for farting after launch control or just hard shifts period that's natural that's what the car does when it's out efficiency mode.

Is the "farting" the up change exhaust noise or like a misfire stumble.

If it's a stumble it's the cheap tyres which should not be on the x5m drive system as it damages the transfer box due to the sizes being slightly different through poor quality control.

X drive should have a star on the tyre side wall as the transfer boxes are not the strongest

The noise on gear change is NORMAL. I recently took videos of my F86 in two different modes for my instagram. Shameless plug, its the same as my account name here.

Full M Mode WITH launch control and Full M Mode WITHOUT launch control. Without launch control the car made that noise. Also remember that to have launch control the car needs to be in Sequential Shift mode (aka paddles).
