Poor handling with new Hankook 19.5's - anyone else?

The Goodyear G670 rears had rivered badly and had little tread after 33k so I replaced the four with Hankook 245/70R19.5 A11's. The RV felt really squirmy in the back, like the sidewalls flexed way...

Too much air in new rear tires will do this. On a previous MH the dealer put in 120 even though I requested 95 and the back of the MH was all over the place until I reduced the pressure. How much does your rear axle weigh and how much pressure are you running? I recently put 6 new 11R/22.5 AH11 on the rear of my MH and it handles the same as before... very good.
