B.F.G. All Terrain Tires

[Guest]

Hy Clive,
Thanks for the gen on the tires.
Yes, 'Abe', my cruiser, has a 2" O.M.E. lift, but I didn't notice the
'wander' prior to fitting the B.F.Gs.
Having said that, I put 40 p.s.i. in 'em and now it's nowhere near as
pronounced.
Give it a day or two and I'll probably not notice it at all.
As Ian pointed out though, the ride is slightly more harsh
(not complaining, just noticing).
I'm pleased with 'em so far, but will wait to pass judgement till after the
up-coming trip.

Mik,
There is a castor correction kit that you can fit to fetch the
steering geometry back to normal if you have to much wander, or lack
of centering.
Regards, Clive.

Hy Clive,
Yes, I have heard of the castor correction kit, but I would be surprised if
a 2" lift would require one.
It seems to center o.k. the wander only becoming apparant when I hit a bump
in the road surface. (Bump steer on a coil sprung truck!!!!!!).
As I said, it's much improved at 40 p.s.i. so I will give it a week or two,
and if I can still feel it, I may consider the kit.
