I'm running LTX's on my '90 Westy Auto. I had *great* luck with them on my '82 Westy Diesel/Jetta, over 50K miles and still going when I sold it. However, the '90 naturally has a softer front suspension than the '82, so I seem to notice wind effects more, not sure I can blame that on the tire. I run them at 50 PSI in the rear, 46 front. I'm was a little uneasy about the 93 weight rating of the LTX vs. the 99 of the MXT, but so far no concern. This is a heavier vehicle than the '82. Lister's comments?
