How are your TRE's by the way? Are they torqued down tight? Any issues with the PS system?
The new 315/75R16s also like to grab the groves a bit more than my old tires which is expected when going to a wider tire.

I'm planning on checking the TRE's when my wife gets back from her trip. They have about 50k miles on them.

The PS is OK. Sometimes at stopped to low speed turning like in a parking lot the power assist goes away. It's intermittent which is weird. Pretty much it's when I go full lock both ways while stopped. I haven't tried to diagnose that further.
