That makes me feel all smart now. :dog head: The volvo engineers seem to know what they were doing. My '88 station wagon runs like a top even after I learned to drive a manual on it.

Thats good to know. I was planning on converting to dual circuit brakes any way. Would running two master cylinders with each connected to one of the steering tires and the opposite side rear tires (not the actual tires, but that tires brake) work best? I feel it would be easier to set one...

How well do they help braking? My biggest issue with a deuce (when I get one) is really going to be braking. I can deal with no power steering (Im far from dainty). But when I want to stop, I want to STOP. I imagine retrofitting some bigger heavier brakes may help me out quite a bit.

I may just use some better tires (i.e. better traction) in the stock size. Thats a 9x20 or 11x20 no? Probably easier to steer.

I know rationally what to do, and thankfully only had a front tire blow out at about 10 MPH (darned 2x4s with nails!). The way I look at it, run flats don't hurt and if nothing else they make me feel better which often does lots of good. Call them my security blanket (and me Linus). :mrgreen...

Well thats nice, but I am not you nor am I as confident a driver in similar situations. With no power steering and me pooping my pants I would prefer to have some redundancy that would help me stay calm(ish) in that situation. It is like having a condom on you in college, Id rather have it and...

Is there a better run flat option using A3 wheels? I would like a deuce but after hearing multiple stories from some local Vets about how they (the truck) would lose a front tire and crash at highway speeds, Id prefer to have a safer option (especially since I do at least two 500 mile drives on...

Are 395's run flats to begin with when they are on A3 wheels? If so that is another plus to converting a deuce to super singles.

Just for the sake of sating my own curiosity, has any one installed run flat tires on the front pair of wheels in a deuce? I know for sure you will lose control should you lose a front tire, but if you have some thing like this...
