Dan, I had a thread going last week where we discussed how much a correct alignment will improve the "wondering" problem. My Clipper almost drives like new after correcting years of pot hole jolts! The new radial 7.00 X 15's helped too, although I saw a bigger change on my '52 Mayfair with radials. The change there was truly amazing! I think the narrower tread width on the 7.00's minimize the noticable change, but they are still much more "secure" to the road. To me, installing radials, like seat belts, is a safety issue.
We're leaving in the morning on a week-long tour with the '41. This will be the first long drive away from home for the girl, so wish us luck!
