Default Hp's are on!!!!!!

I had the Goodyear HP Ultra's put on the back, and i had all four tires balanced and aligned. the shake over 65 mph is gone, thank God!! Its so nice to drive 90 and feel like its 55 again. The tires seem to be the same as the F1 steels except they feel "lighter". I mean, the back end seems to float more than the others. It may just be that i have to get used to em. Anyone else notice this? Oh yeah, when the guy put my wheel on the press to take off the old tire, the tire SPLIT!! :eek: I was like WTF? It split on the side wall. That couldve been a blow out or something. Those tires were only 1 year old. I think i migt go with another brand next time. Anyway, i give em a 7. Pretty good tire overall. L8r guys. :)

I was thinking, maybe as the tires get worn a little, it wont be as floaty. I remember that feeling on my dads truck when i changed the tires. what do you guys think?

They just might be a little bit "looser". I experienced something similar, just got used to it. You might have an alignmnet done, never know.
