Irecently purshased a new set of Yokohama 356s @ 185
r14 8ply. Since the first moment I drove the van it
wass all over the road. Like a pick-up with a load of
gravel in the back. We changed the tire pressure from
38/43 F/R to 44/44 to 43/53 and the handling did not
change. Gets worse with speed. It was so bad that we
aborted the trip. So now the tire dealer has offered
to put whatever tire we want on it.
I have always had good luck with michelins and Have
never had good results with any other brand. So I need
to decide between the 1)Agelis 185r14 or 2) LTX 195 70
14 (dont have my notes in front and may be 195 75 14).
The previous tires were 205 LTXs which seem to not be
made now. The van drove nicely with those. Does it
steer so bad because of the 185 size?? Thoughts?
