Bike set up: rear shock 92 psi preload ; fronts max preload; R622 trailer; 2up. 2012ltd sway bar

Tires appear to have stiffer sidewalls steering, feels markedly solid. Condition I call "rear wheel steering" almost gone. This usually occurs on a heavily traveled highway that has a crown in the travel lane. Rear wheel wants to steer the bike off the crown. Just my observations to date

@Bob, according to this, they're just for us!!!!

@Roger, from the picture Kristal at ROLO posted, it looks like a '12 RT LTD, Lava Bronze.
