Carlo- I'll have to report back to the forum but you maybe on to something.

First a little history. My vehicle blew up (total engine failure) within a few miles of buying it. Hence I'm always worried that something "horrible" is going to happen.
The steering gear box was also beat, replaced and adjusted poorly.
All 6 shocks were beat then replaced.
My air ride was beat so I never knew ride height. I WAY over inflated the bags for mths.
Then my front bearing gave out (while having the uncorrected steering box, and way to high pressure tires and airbags way over inflated), and the passenger side took out the knuckle as well. More white knuckle driving till figured out.
Then got the new tires and the shop inflated them to 80 lbs and until yest I had never adjusted them otherwise. I bounced down the interstate cause of it and constantly over corrected cause of the way off tire pressure. Now I have adjusted the pressures.
Today I took it for a semi good highway drive. I thought about what you said changing tire pressure and then adjusting your driving. I too drive a very small powerful sports car.
I relaxed everytime a big truck came, I only tiny adjusted my steering wheel when I felt a rut or uneven surface and this time I had much more success.
I thinking after having such a long history of serious issues with drive quality maybe one of the biggest hurdles I have now is having more confidence that things are better. Things seemed much better after I calmed down and didn't over steer.
It maybe time to start thinking about adding true track to the mid tires. Tomorrow we leave for a 125 mile or so trip, I'm crossing my fingers and see if I'm relaxed it will go as well as it did today.
If so it maybe time for a few improvement upgrades. Otherwise I have help lined up to check it out.
