I have 200 miles on my CTR now; it's a fantastic drivers car.
However, I'm finding that although most bumps are fine, joints on the highway, where there is a change in angle/height across the whole lane or a 1/2ish inch step due to construction or lack of maintenance on a transition on an overpass, it's downright scary with a sharp and very dramatic thud/clunk.
I've inspected my wheels, no bends, and the suspension still seems tight with no damage or noise normally, but this behavior isn't encouraging and I feel like I'm pushing my luck.
My other car has 245/35-20 tires, which I've found to be completely fine. Is there such a large difference between 245/35 and 245/30 that 35 is fine and 30 is awful? Or is it a bump travel problem? Do bumpstops come in too early? Or is the tire hitting the fender liner above? Anyone else having these issues?
