If tire pressure is too low, stability is decreased. Lots of info in
archives regarding tire pressures.  :)

I'm running Yoko 370 tires.   http://www.yokohama.ca/index.php?page=y370&lang=EN

There was a marked improvement in traction over my Nexens

I didn't note any marked improvement in stability. That said, I'm
happy with the Yoko's.
