It's all relative.

If you've been driving a mid 60's Lincoln Town Car stock vans feel like formula 1 cars. If you've been driving a Lotus everything feels like a mid 60s Lincoln Town car.

Have much to say, Scott? :- ) I run identical tires front and rear (D rated 185 R14), which is the way the van came from the factory. I run 53 psi rear, 43 psi front, which is what VW recommends. I load the van up with camping gear and supplies. It tracks perfectly. It does not bounce, it does not waver, it holds the road well in the wind. Steering is nice. What's not to like? mcneely ---- Scott Daniel - Turbovans <scottdaniel@TURBOVANS.COM> wrote: A word or two.
