Hi,
I had a different situation. I had successfully towed my Honda CRV many times to a campground in the foothills of a tall mountain. Going back to the interstate meant going downhill about 500' elevation over the 5 - 6 mile drive.
Normally it was un-eventful. However after changing from all steel sidewall tires to a 'quiet' popular polyester sidewall tire (much like the ones used at my work) the ride changed! I took both the Honda and Ford based motorhome in for an alignment, both where within spec, and nothing needed to be adjusted.
Changing the tires back to the much stiffer steel sidewall tires solved my problem. The car was pushing the back of the RV into the corners, and giving it the wiggles! Replaced the tires, and no problems.
