Handling

Don't be in a hurry to do a bunch of suspension mods. My F53 had a wandering issue when new. Now with 5000 miles it drives like a car. When the tires are new they have a curve across the tread. Once that crown is worn flat the wandering goes away. My last mh was a Winnebago Journey and always handled great. I had a new set of the same Michelin tires installed and it wandered until the tires were worn flat across the tread. About 3000 miles later the excellent handling was back.

That may be true for some but I felt no difference as I drove across country and back.
