Suddenly Swaying
First time this year taking the TT out on the road, and suddenly I am experiencing (minor) swaying where I’ve never experienced it before. I literally had to remember that the TT was back there when...

Finally back in town and was able to look up the tires I got:
Michelin Defender LTX M/S
I would think from the description that these would be acceptable, no?
I have just shy of 1,000 miles on the tires at this point, and we leave for vacation on Friday. I have to check to see if the fresh water tank is forward of the axles or not, and if so, I will fill that tank. I’ll also load whatever we can - chairs, luggage, etc up front as well.
Same tires we bought. They are excellent for towing. We got them because they are highly regarded for towing. I really suggest that you inflate them to or near their max sidewall psi rating for towing as you will get better handling. Don't go by the placard psi for towing.
ST trailer tires should be run at max. sidewall psi. Same thing, don't go by what might be on the sticker and reduce the psi based on actual wt. of the TT. More pressure will raise the reserve load capacity and reduce the risk of a blowout and improve sway/handling.
Lots of excellent info. in RVtiresafety.net on all things related to RV tires and RV-ing. It's a blog run by a retired tire engineer who also RVs extensively.
