I am running a Goodyear Triple Tred 205/65-15 on my 1800 S at 34 psi and it feels excellent there. 2 lbs up or down can make a huge difference, have to play with it till it feels the way you like to ride.

Bobby taught me that to reduce "wiggle" on tar snakes and cracks ... drop the pressure a couple of pounds. I had the same problem on my GYTT and when I hit 34#s it was like magic. Try a couple of pounds at a time till you get there.

Re: what air pressure do you run
I have spoke wheels and I sealed them with the 3M 5200 thanks to the write up wayne posted. It was a little tough to get the tire on the rim, used a tire machine my friend had and it took us 120 psi to seat the tire. Ran it to 110 the first time and didn't seat let the air out and lubed it again and seated at 120. I didn't run a tube as i was concerned about the tube holding up to the high pressure to seat the bead. I have read from the others to highly smooth and polish the inside of your rim and the tire will seat better with less psi I will do that on the next car tire install. I am very happy with the GYTT.
