Hey all,

I've got a question about tire pressure.  The Midget had developed a
skiddishness (sp?) on the highway about a month and half before I put it away. 
It tended to be real sensitive to road ruts, and the steering was more mushy
than usual.  

A few weeks ago someone mentioned to me that overinflated tires could cause
that.  I remembered that I had 35psi in each from the day I autocrossed it on a
Police test track.  When I decreased the pressure to 26psi,  the skiddishness
went away.  

Any ideas as to why this happens?

Mike
