Which Trailhandlers did you get? There are several different models available. I bought the Trailhandler APTs for my 87 Syncro and am quite pleased with them. They are a load range C tire and for me there was a dramatic decrease in the type of behavior you are describing when I installed them in place of the non-reinforced Tirestone all-season radials that were mounted when I purchased it.

One thing to check. The Sears guys inflated my tires to 30 PSI all around, rather than to the manual's specifications.
