Are you sure you did the braking test on a surface without ruts or creases ? The L has the widest front tires of any production light truck or car.

SVT Bob,
You are welcome.
How do you think I felt when the dealer told me? Anyway, it was "roger" who made me feel better when he confirmed the fix.
The roads around here are so bad right now that it is difficult to tell what's going on. I'm very satisfied at this point. Also had my tires balanced yesterday. Had a .75 oz. imbalance and a .50 imbalance on the front wheels. Didn't change much however.
Tell me I'm crazy, but the tonneau thing also works.

These tires are wide.When I am on and old road that is heavily traveled with trucks.The ruts will just about pull the wheel out of your hand.I am still not used to it.
