If tire pressure is too low, stability is decreased. Lots of info in archives regarding tire pressures. :) I'm running Yoko 370 tires. http://www.yokohama.ca/index.php?page=y370&lang=EN There was a marked improvement in traction over my Nexens http://www.ityre.com/en/tyres/catalog/nexen_roadstone/model/4984/ I didn't note any marked improvement in stability. That said, I'm happy with the Yoko's. Neil.
