While I've not seen the need for power steering in my Lark (with the big heavy 259 and cast iron trans.), I did find a way to get the power steering feeling cheap and easy...by mistake !
On one hand, I don't recommend these tires (a purchasing mistake on my part !) for those that like to "push" their cars , they are just fine for the cruisers among us.
HanKook, Optimo, 205-75 x 15 tires. Two reasons -
1. They are over 3/4" narrower than the last 205-75 tire I had on my wagon.
2. Because they have no bead fillers in the sidewalls, they have a recommended (max.) tire pressure of 44lbs. And yes, with the heavy front end, I always run at or near the full pressure in the front tires, with somewhat less in the back.
So with being fairly narrow (bout 5-1/4" tread), and having a high pressure rating (40psi in them right now), the steering is "VERY" light...almost too light for my taste.
Just thought I'd pass this along since there's been a few power steering addition questions of late.
