Impact of Steer Tire Pressure on Straight Line Stability
#2

Wow, very interesting. Not the results I experienced on mine.
Maybe the starting caster / camber / toe-in makes a difference along with tire size ? ? ?

A couple of years ago when I put new Michellins (11R24.5 - G) steer tires on my classic, I weighed the coach & inflated them according to the weight chart. The result was not good. It felt like the tires were squirming on the road. It was a real handful to keep centered in my lane.

I upped the air pressure to the max listed on the sidewall and the difference was clear - very solid & tight connection to the road and easier to track in a straight line.

I do know that some cars are sensitive to small changes in alignment settings, where others don't seem to care where the wheels are pointed LOL Tongue
