I am not. It had normal power steering fluid in it when I flushed it. I was wondering if I should have put atf in it.
Yes, you should run ATF in the PS. I would stick with the tire size you have currently.

Need a little assistance if possible. So after getting everything back together found the brakes were dragging on the first test drive. After reading on here about the push rod length I adjusted it in and rebled everything. Front bakes seem like they maybe getting just a little warm still. I took a temp gun and checked the fronts are around 240-250 consistently with some times around 300. (I live in the mountains lot of up and down) the hubs are around 110-120. Everything is staying even one side isn't higher than the other. All brake stuff on the front is new plus new rubber lines. I did Crack the line on the Mc and it didn't have any pressure after the last test drive and it still rolls free after driving so they're not getting hot enough to stick. Just curious if that temp is normal for these or should we move to the master. The thing has sat for the most of the past six years. I just did the berifs so I don't wanna cook the new grease and seals. Thanks. I did check around but didn't see much about temps on here.

Drove it to work tonight and lf was 260 rf was 330.. Bled again Doing the procedure the right way and got a little more air out of the rf.. Hoping it's just some air but have a master cylinder coming anyway. Anyone else got any ideas?
Remove the pads, stick something between each caliper piston and rotor, and make sure they retract back into the caliper without too much force.
I found that I had two stuck pistons in each of my calipers.

Everything is new on the front. Soft lines included.
New doesn't mean good.

I agree, but just relaying that...
Seems that after learning you bleed the wheels differently on these from all other cars ive worked on, doing the LR, Rr, Lf, Rf. Got more air out of the rf. Drove it home last night and all over today and never got more than 175, so seems we're situated on that.
On to the next thing!
