This new size affords the possibility to reduce the pressures down to 22 psi which feels just dandy.


That's very interesting, the 70th anniversary 4/4 came standard with steel wheels, mine being a post 1970 celebration model came with the rarely fitted spoke wheels ( as only fitted to 4/4's after 1970) and possibly it may have a plus 4 front wings as my wires do not fill the wing, they look quite narrow and I've been contemplating getting the wider wire wheel if it will fit. My car would certainly benefit with a slightly improved height but I need to balance the extra steering weight as I have a very tight turning circle to get my car reversed into the garage.

So far the reaction bars definitely seem to lessen the suspension crashes and smooth out undulations, the compromise'trade off is that they can restrict/rub on full lock.
