Torsion bars for better handling; your experience?

If you run anything lower than a 50 series tire in theses parts 18453 you will bend wheels and loose fillings, I did live in Cal. in the 1980s did not see
what you describe, may be way north and east don't know. Anyhow don't get insulted just built your suspension adjusted to what you have
to drive on. I look forward to driving my classic cars but really only from
May thru Oct. before or after they just get the crap beat out of them,save that for my 98 F150.

I'm not insulted. It's just pretty obvious you have no clue what you're talking about. California has 386,604 lane miles of road. If you think they're all the same you're delusional. The fact that you think California doesn't have rural, "snow country" roads tells me you don't know anything about it at all.

Run whatever you like on your summer weekend car that never sees bad weather and only hits the road 5 months out of the year. I'd happily put my Duster against any of your public roads in Pleasant Mount, Pennsylvania. I promise it's already been on worse and held up just fine. I wouldn't change my 1.12's for anything smaller, and it's not because I drive roads that are smooth as glass. And my 18's and 275/35/18's do just fine too.

Goat path? Yeah I've done that. I usually drive this one a few times a month. 5 miles of this round trip every time. Year round. And I'm sure you can imagine that the paved roads leading to this aren't great either.
