Manual steering / Tuff Wheel

[nodemon]

How many of you out there have manual steering and a tuff wheel..? I replaced my factory steering wheel with a tuff wheel but have not driven my car yet. Just wondering if it was a mistake installing the tuff wheel.
Is it that much of a big deal for daily driving..?

Thanks..!

I’ve got 16:1 manual steering, 275/35/18’s up front, +6.5° of caster and a Tuff wheel. And close to 50k street miles that way.

Above 15-20 mph it’s not a problem at all. Below that the steering does get heavy, but as long as you plan a bit so you don’t have to do an Austin Powers 500 point turn around it’s not terrible. I literally get groceries in the thing every week, sees plenty of public parking.

Same here 16:1 and Tuff wheel, only issues are slow parking lot speed turns, 20:1 or 24:1 will be easier to manage.

Wondering if big mistake? Only you can answer that after a drive and only you.

True...but still nice to hear others opinions.

I have no problem driving with mine. I do have skinny front tires though!
