Last year I went from the Michelin XPS to the BFG T/A's and have never looked back. I hated those rock hard Michelins due to the ride, rut running, and poor traction. I certainly haven't picked up anything I would call tail wagging, but the on-center rsponse is down slightly, but nothing even remotely bothersome. The rut running is gone and the ride is dramatically better. What pressures are you running?


I will agree that the BFG T/A's are riding much smoother, and the cabinets do not rattle as much... Fixing the front end is the big issue; it magnifys the on-center response. I do not know what the best pressure to run is and I have never weighed the coach. I think the Tire shop set the rear at 65 or 70psi. I have yet to confirm this.
