In the front I have Dunlop SP60 185/65/14 - I hate these tires. They have no grip and I doubt they are any good for MPG.
Dunlop SP 60
IMHO, Dunlops are horrible.

Quesion:
1. Which tires do i put in front?
Asked and answered.

Quote:
2. What PSI is safe for a long trip like this?
Again, good advice has been given. More than 10 PSI above the rating may become harsh riding.

Quote:
3. Can I remove the power steering belt for this trip and put it back on when I get home?
Sure. Your car won't steer properly and you may get into an accident on account of it. Why not just take the bus to begin with, instead of taking a one way bus ticket back, after you wreck your car?

4. Is it worth the extra effort to scramble for a upper grill block off before I leave?
For summer weather? If I understand correctly, you are suggesting modifying your car so it will be tough to steer and it will likely overheat. Are you serious? (Sounds to me like we're 'being had'.)
