Hey folks... I think last think i posted was the incident with the barrels...*sigh* Anyhow, got my Yokohama 370LT's installed yesterday...YEAH! Love 'em. Had to put 100 miles on them by noon today (finished with Se*rs at 8.30 last night..) Because the place that was going to balance them said they wanted at least that many miles on them, first. So they can stretch, and seat. *shrug* Not a problem....drove till ~midnight, (Well, watched Voyager first, at a friends...:) Even unbalanced, i had NO trouble...:) Didnt go faster than 65, though...(Itchigo needs a valve adjustment, *sigh*) Got them balanced today (on the car, btw...nifty machine..), and got up to 70 on the way home...Quiet (at least, i dont hear them over my exhaaust leak...damn the gaskets NOPI sells!), good dry traction (40 on curves that 35 would have squeeled the old tires..), And.....love them!:) Havent tried them wet, yet...but i know it'll happen sooner than i want... Even at 84 bucks each, (plus..) So far i'm well satisfied. They couldnt align the bus, because it turns out that the barrels bent my right tierod..*sigh* Thats ok, i have a spare (from the old beam) I'll install ASAP... Now...the question!:) You folks running 370's (or similiar load D tires) on a Baywindow Westy (non-westy's too..) What inflation pressures have you found success with?
