4. Put on 4 new Michelin E class tires.
I did all of this a one time so I can't tell you if just one thing helped more than another but before driving
50mph was scary, now I can drive 60-70 and feel safe with little sway. I have had other PW owners drive my unit and they agree mine drives much better than theirs without the upgrades. The upgrades may be costly but for safety I believe they were worth it. I can now sleep with my wife driving . Bob
