And the new tires are on, the wheels torqued, and the first short voyage taken. I like the new LTX M/S2 a lot better than the old MS tires, they seem a bit firmer, but certainly drove a lot better. Granted the MH is empty and winterized, the only tank that is full is the fuel. Now that they've been run, I'll re-torque & be done with the project.
Another thing I noted was the lack of squish - the sidewalls seem to have a lot less bulge, and the tread is a bit narrower. Both are good attributes for the duals as I was getting some kissing going on behind my back...
The pressure is currently 75lbs in all 6 where I usually run 60 in the front and 70 in the rear. As I stated, even with and empty/dry MH, they rode well.
Pauldub, I hear ya! I can be a harrowing experience.
Dakzuki, thanks! Yep, knowledge is power. I had the necessary tools when the front end fell apart in Arches Nat'l park in the summer of 2012, we need to remove the passenger front wheel to put the parts back together. I was prepared with the bottle jack, jackstand and the appropriate wrenches.
