I brought my Sport S home and drove it for a week before i got out my trusted air guage out that i bought to set air pressure in my motorcycle tires, paid around $40.00 for it. They were set at 39 so i set them to 36. Yesterday we took a 200 mile trip and the difference is very noticeable. Very settled feeling without that dance feeling, softer feel to the ride.
I have 25 years in fleet maintenance maintaining 35 to 40 delivery trucks at a time. When i would put new tires on a truck and not tell the driver they would come to see me explaning how they got the sh!% scared out of them by the truck walking when they took corners too fast. It was discovered that only the very centermost of the tread was touching the pavement with the air psi set to the recommended pressure, 75. Try this by putting down some brown paper and rolling a tire across it and you will see this. I would set the psi to 55 and let them drive it that way untill the nxet PMI and reset to 75.
I am just saying proper air pressure makes a huge difference.
