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...

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.
Bad advice...If Joe got the required load E tires for his 2500HD the door sticker will call for the max 80psi on the rears....if he inflates the fronts to 80 psi he will be all over the road.
Joe's 2500HD has plenty of GVWR to handle his trailer, and as such he should inflate the tires per Chevy's recommendations on the door jamb sticker. Over-inflating tires for the weight they carry has no benefit except to reduce the contact patch of the tire and ruin the suspension dynamics of the truck.
I tried various pressures and it wasn't until I went to 75 front & 80 rear when towing that I got the optimal handling (and no sway). Been doing that for many thousands of miles now over 4 years and no tread wear issues. I get tight/crisp handling on twisty mountain roads and no sway at 65 on interstates. I thought that was from rvtiresafety.net but I can't find it at the moment.
