So I went out and checked my tires on Cara the other day, because the noise from the rear tires seemed louder, and the front tires were harder to turn w/o the PS (EOC).

It turns out, I haven't checked them in quite some time, I guess... 20PSI on 3 tires, and 25 on the fourth... Hm... no wonder it handles funny?

So, I pumped all 4 back to 40, and now it's GREAT!

I'm going to remove the PS belt, as well. I don't need it at all, and the wife's car is running just fine, so I don't see her needing it anytime soon.
