Blowouts on front passenger side tire

For the tag owners on the forum please correct me if I'm wrong but if the tag is taking on too much weight won't it also add weight to the front axle because of the see-saw effect using the drive axle as a fulcrum?

Yes. When you do the weight thing at the scales, you can drive off the scales and reset the pressure on the tag axle to either increase or decrease the tag weight. If you increase the tag weight, you will add weight to the front (steer) axle and reduce weight on the drive axle. If you decrease the tag weight, you will increase the weight on the drive axle and reduce the weight on the steer axle. The tag allows you to find the best setting for both axle weights and for the best steering control of the bus. This is one of the reasons that tag axle coaches generally are much easier to drive without having the tail wag the dog and cause weaving as you go down the road. When the tag is set right and the alignment is correct, you can literally steer the coach with one finger on the bottom of the steering wheel. When I first bought my dynasty, I took it to Josams Alignment in Orlando and had them set the alignment and tag weight. It drives like it is on rails and passing semi's and crosswinds have very little to no affect on the steering. The tag also allows a significant increase in weight carrying capacity for those things you don't want to leave at home.
