Me too. I changed the tranny to syn. this weekend (did engine oil last
wkend) and have been cruising at fwy speeds to check things out as well. Got
Michelin XC/LT4 225/70R14's yesterday. Very smooth sailing all the way
round. Doubt my actual speed is 70, due to tire size, but mine also says
just over 70 indicated at 4K.
