Baby steps. Put new Falken MT LT255/85R16's on. With decent rubber all around, I finally took it out on the road. I noticed that at higher speeds (no idea what number because the speedometer isn't connected) that the front end is very loose. It starts pulling to the left, then when you steer right it "grabs" and starts pulling too hard to the right, then you steer left and it grabs and pulls you too far that way. Also, I was starting to get what I assume was a belt whine at the higher end, so I pulled off, turned around, and headed home.
