They had a deal on it at the tent in Jan. Maybe they will have it again.

I have seriously overexpounded on the fixing of the suspension and using the Michelin's. 

Way more money.  How much for what?

My personal thought would be is can you substitute less self steering tires and a looser front end with the safe-t-steer AND drive the coach in normal medium conditions and drive it from the rearward seat position and with my hands at 6 and 9 o'clock.

If so and I hope that it does work that way this would seem to be a cost saving similar result mod.

No insult but if not a different idea

Bob, as Sven and I both stated-- this is not installed so you can continue driving with a wore out front end-- it is strictly for safety
Just my 2c worth

Safety is over-riding issue. look at the name of the product. "Safe-T-Plus".

That's a hard one to answer.  Extremely subjective.  I have had an owner tell me in all seriousness that his coach drives just as well, and as effortlessly as his Cadillac Escalade.  Sadly, my experiences don't mimic his....not even close.  So if you're achieving driving nirvana like this with a program of overhaul, blueprinting and tweaking front end, you are unlikely to duplicate it with a safe t plus and toe in adjustment. 

These easy fixes can help tame some issues and reduce driving effort as well as provide stability in a blowout/wheel off road situation.  Incremental improvements, not transformative.

When asked about these systems long ago I told countless customers that it was hard to tell them a safety item was not a good idea so I did not tell not to install any such systems

I have U300. We installed a Safe T Plus for piece of mind in the event of a blowout. I didn't/don't see a down side. It did end up making a difference I could feel when being passed by 18 wheelers.

I had a full alignment at FOT last year and that made an even better difference.

Belt and suspenders.
