Nope, I'm running BF Goodwrench G-Force KDW II's.

I considered the Pirellis though. What are your impressions of them other than loose steering? I'm not sure how that could come from new tires.

How are your tie rod endlinks looking?

the right side was replaced recently, but the left should still be good because it was just inspected yesterday.but besides the loose steering they seem good. Im used to having bfgoodrich traction t/a, it rides a little smoother not sure about the cornering though. It seems to have some more body roll but that could be totally in my head tho.

Ya, I've got them on my 91 Q and theyre alright. Its not too smooth at lower speed but it seems the faster I go the better it gets. Im thinkin about gettin some better ones with some rims, but not sure yet.

maybe more grip = more body roll?what tire pressure do you have them at? if they feel looser, and seem to allow more roll perhaps they are just under inflated?

I ran them on my daily driver which is MX-3. They were alright. I like Falken 512 better. I'm going through 2nd set now. Just installed them last month. You should definitely check air pressure tho...

Don't count on it. I work for discount tire co. and from personal experience from working at 4 locations correct tire pressure does not seem to be a big deal. Luckily I run the shop at my location and don't pull a car out until it has the correct tire preasure. When I have helped at other locations, 35psi is like the universal tire pressure. Not just from techs either, I have corrected assistant managers for saying "just put 35 in it". There is no real inforcement about correct tire pressure nor have I been to a meating where it was brought up.

I love my job, but not everyone takes pride in their work. In Texas everyone and their grandma drives a truck and most trucks take 35 psi and maybe that's why they are used to saying, "just put 35 in it". In my area I have built a reputation for being a stickler about tire pressure. I am ashamed to admit all this about DTC in my area, but it's something that I think needs to change for clients to have a higher quality of service. Most people are expecting everything to be right just as you did, but don't be scared to watch while they work on your vehicle. It used to bother me, but now I completely understand.

Sorry for typing so much, I just had to let it off my chest.

My point is you probably have to much air in your tires.
