That's _very_ interesting, and thanks for passing it on. I never thought of
low tire-pressure causing the same symptoms as an unequal left-right rolling
radius problem, but I think you're right on the money. Besides that, I
can't keep a handle on the tire-pressures of 60-plus vehicles, and some of
our 1009's are _always_ losing air on tires, but are driven so often it's
hard to keep an eye on them. That'll be the first thing I look at from now
on.
