This was on normal country roads in Norfolk, UK, decently maintained with odd pots and gouges here and there. Conditions limited sane driving to maybe 55 mph. I was assured the 16" were softer but never had a chance to see for myself. Does "squirrelly" == harsh or just excessively lively? -- Andrew Stephenson
