Yes, I do think so.  I had them mounted brand new then took off on a 
long road trip from UT to TX.  I hit some really hard rain and lemme 
tell ya I've never felt such a feeling of lack of control.  Wow.  Maybe 
their newness (I can make up new words just like Shawn..heh) or the wide 
size (225/40/16) has something to do with it.
