I should have included that it sure didn't used to seem goofy.
Same tires I think.

Thanks for the information Sam.

I would assume from your statement that they are all "cheap passenger
tires" that the ply and load rating, etc. on all of the fronts are
equal.

This is what is critical, not just the size.  Most passenger tires of
the same size will have similar load ratings, but there is variation
and
this could be part of your problem.

Have the fronts on the goofy blue van been balanced lately?  Are they
properly inflated?  Is the load rating, etc. for the rears on the brown

84 higher than the rears on the blue 84.

I drove "cheap" (inadequate) passenger tires for years and only
switched
after reading on the list about how much improvement in handling could

be gained by getting "stronger" tires.

You don't have to go up to light truck tires to get substantial
improvement.  Better, higher load rated passenger tires will help
handling.
