Does your LX wander?
My 2001 LX has 33000 miles and about 6/32 remaining on all Michelin tires. I constantly feel like I am making small steering corrections at highway speeds. It is worse with factory recommended tire pressures. I put 33psi all the way around and it is much better but not gone. Is it the Michelin tires or does this truck do this on all brands?

RE: Does your LX wander?
I just started having the same problem with highway "wandering" after upgrading my wheels and tires on my '97 LX450. Handling at lower speeds is much better than before though. The wheels I have on it now are 20x9 Devino Mallets with 295/50-20 Falken STZ04 tires. Previous tires were 265-75-16 Toyos on MHT wheels, 16x8. I had a 4-wheel alignment by a competent stop too.
My LX is affected mostly by the rutted, grooved highways here in Oregon (caused by the fools that think they need studded tires *every* October to March for th 1-2" of show we might get). I brought the tire pressure down from 35lbs to 32lbs with no improvement. Anyone ever have any similar issues upgrading their tires/wheels?
