Leo,

What tires were you running?

Make: Capital Model: Metric Size: Load Range: Load Index: Max Load: Max Inflation Pressure: 65 psi

Other than the "Directional" possibility that Joel mentioned ... I'm a bit concerned about the 45 psi on a 65 max psi tire.

Might be a tad too low.

If you give me the other info I'll try to look up the inflation tables for that tire.

Just came back from a long camping trip to West Texas. It was hot there and still about 1000 miles from home, I experience the same old familiar pulsing steering wheel pulling to the right syndrome. I closely examined the tire on the passenger side, yes, the tire became deformed because of busted belt. It happened two times before on the same wheel of my 91 multivan. Could that be just a coincidence or is there a problem with the front suspension somewhere? The multivan runs straight and steady, with all the ball joints and other suspension components looks good. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
