Steer tires
Does tread pattern on the steer tires influence sway. I suspect that it does. What tires would be recommended. I pull with a 2007 Chevy Tahoe.

Something like the Hensley Arrow would make a significant improvement, versus a simple friction sway brake.
Yes but at $2500 That would be 40% of what I paid for the trailer.
If you're running through the friction sway control, IMO don't mask the problem with a more expensive hitch, figure out the weight issue.
typically trailer sway without an adverse condition causing it momentarily is too light of tongue weight. As well, even with decent tongue weight, a big concentration of weight at the very rear of the trailer will have a pendulum affect, but only if something else induces the sway first.
Last, grossly overloaded tongue weight can have the same effect as too light, but not becasue the trailer is swaying per se, but that it's manhandling the tow rig too much.
You have a little SUV, put 4 of the same tires on it, have the right pressures and steer tires will not be even a small % of the issue youre trying to correct.
