Greetings all

I have been using Y370's for a couple of years now, which in mileage terms is about 50,000 Km. For the most part I have been quite happy with them, very stable tire. However, in the last few months I have noticed a bit less resistance to crosswinds. I also noticed that my steering rack bushings are a bit sloppy and, my shocks are 10 years old.
