Pulling a jeep
I am going to pull a jeep ranger behind my class C for the first time. Do I need to turn the key on?

I have a few questions for you who tow Wranglers.
Are you maintaining the stock wheels & tires for towing? If you installed larger tires with a wider wheel offset, how is your towing experience?
Stock wheel/tire setup or non-stock, do any of you notice strange front tire wear on the outer edges of the thread from pulling your Wrangler through sharp turns with your motor home?
We get that from towing our 2006 Jeep Liberty with stock wheels & tires. I try my best to avoid sharp turns with the motor home but cannot completely avoid the condition. I also inflate the front tires much higher to reduce outer edge front tire wear. I wondered if the Wrangler had similar challenges.
My cousin and her husband in north-east Illinois has for sale, a silver 2011 4-door Wrangler setup for towing but is equipped with a very expensive Stage-V Moab Industries Conversion. The tires are much larger than stock, the vehicle is lifted fairly high, and there are so many fancy things on it far beyond the needs for serious off-roading. Auto-retracting running boards is one such over-the-top feature. My cousin is new to motor homes, new to Wranglers, and new to towing. They recently bought the Wrangler in AZ when they bought their 2nd house in Prescot AZ to slowly transition to a retirement location but the mile high altitude had my cousin living with a constant headache that immediately went away at lower altitude. So the Prescot house and Wrangler they recently bought are both up for sale. The Wrangler is now at their IL house. I wonder how towing it would be. They are both oblivious to my concern. We met at a local restaurant and when they drove off, I could hear the tires loud to the road. Did towing the Moab Wrangler ruin it's tires?
