Believe it or not, front tire wear can be improved by changing the rear springs! I have a car with new rear springs I originally put in for better handling and less body roll in the corners. before the spring change, I had similar wear issues with t…

Go over to www.smartcarofamerica.com and research the roof crazing issue. From what I have read, smart has a new replacement roof from a different supplier. Make sure you get the updated roof as a replacement. I live in Southern California and so fa…

The Continnental brand tires have a bad wear rating. They are soft tires. My rear tires picked up a ton of nails and screws. I switched to Kumho tires. They have more pressure in them and give a stiffer ride but no repairs after 10,000 miles. Will s…

Hi Dave. I've had no issues with my tires, I did a swap to "all same size" early part of September 2009 ahead of the outSmart the Dragon event. The car handles much better now with all 15" front now the same as the back is stock. I think with about…

I've had two roofs replaced on 2 of my smarts. At first the dealer was surprised to hear of something but it is now beginning to be a common problem so they are a bit more used to it.

Is anyone else having these problems? Tires - I recently had to replace my front tires at 20,000 miles due to cupping and excess wear on the inside. I had a four wheel alignnment performed ($99.95!?) which showed the front end only slightly out on…

Tires & Wheels
I'm going to replace the tires and wheels on my smart. I'd like to put 15X6.0 wheels and 195/50-16 tires all around. Does anyone know if these will fit front and rear without a problem? Thanks

We have just gone through our first problem with our Smart key sets. While understandable given the parameters surrounding these things, it still was a two hour hassle. Aware of the problems of key loss of modern cars (my lovely wife once lost two…
