Could worn tires make car swerve at high speed?
I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I'm trying to troubleshoot. My Thunder Tiger EB4 S2 swerves to right or left at higher speeds. The tires are pretty terrible. The tread is half-gone on one half, and they are bulging in corners and tearing. Could tires be causing the swerving, or something else?
Thanks in advance!

Good to hear. One other odd thing: if I touch the glo plug igniter to the side of the heatsink on the engine, the servos twitch. Is that normal? Wondering if engine interference could be causing the problem (also)?

I'm using FM radio and digital servos and there is still that little twitch. Is normal, no problem at all
