I'm running LTX's on my '90 Westy Auto.  I had *great* luck with them on my
'82 Westy Diesel/Jetta, over 50K miles and still going when I sold it.
However, the '90 naturally has a softer front suspension than the '82, so I
seem to notice wind effects more, not sure I can blame that on the tire.  I
run them at 50 PSI in the rear, 46 front.

I'm was a little uneasy about the 93 weight rating of the LTX vs. the 99 of
the MXT, but so far no concern.  This is a heavier vehicle than the '82.
Lister's comments?
