Road force specifications Can someone provide me with an "industry accepted" definition of "Road Force Specifications"---i.e. what does the term mean in general in the automotive industry.
Can anyone provide me with some authoritative description of safety hazards or dangers if a car cannot be brought into its "Road Force Specifications" as set by the manufacturer.
I need this information in connection with a NY "Lemon Law" action for a refund of the purchase price of my 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed which despite four attempts by Bentley, cannot be brought into compliance (Over 65 pounds out of specs) with its road force specifications. I need to be able to show that as a result the car is---or may be--- unsafe to drive.

You come to a website that's primarily aimed to Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts, and your first post is about your Bentley????
(if you really DO have a Bentley, have you tried contacting the regional sales office??? for what those things cost, if you have a complaint, they should be kissing your ***, to get it fixed...)

I thank you very much for your kind welcome and brilliant insights into what I should be doing to get the problem fixed. Gosh, I never would have thought to first ask Benley to fix the car before suing them under the NY LL. You really are a genius. And a gracious one at that. I am so impressed. I bet everyone else on this forum is also.

Road force is a measurement of tires. If you're having problems with road force being out of spec, then get new tires. Suing for lemon law about road force issues is like divorcing your wife because she wore ugly shoes. Get that bitch some new shoes.

I certainly agree one should not be a jackass. However, I am not the jackass involved here.
Do you need help in figuring out who is??
I would still find it most helpful if someone would answer the question I posted, and not ones I did not ask, and keep their obnoxious and rude editorial comments to themselves.
I did not ask a rude question--so how come the only 2 responses I got not only had nothing to do with the question I asked, they were each pointedly rude in content and tone. What sort of "Jackasses" populate this forum? Is this the way everyone that is new here is treated? Is this somehow a character trait of those geniuses that favor Camaros?? Seems to be.

You might have better luck opening an account over here: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/bentley-42/
Or just pick up a phone and call Bentley customer service: 1 (800) 777-6923

A) Speak with a Bentley rep in such a manner that you get results;
B) Look up the Hunter Engineering site, the people who make the road force balancers;
C) Contact a local tire shop, for some "on site", expert help;
D) SIMPLY put 4 new tires on the car. If you can afford a "six figure car", what's another $8-900 for new tires.............
