DRW Stability
Been reading the SRW vs DRW threads... I have never towed with a DRW and I'm curious what everyone means by "stability". Can you describe what you're experiencing that feels more stable. To say ...

An E rated tire at 50 psi is no stiffer than a p rated tire of the same size at 50 psi. The sides walls on all these tires are 4 ply. The differences are in the tread plys. If you put 80 psi in a passenger tire it will have no more movement side to side as an LT tire at 80 psi.
Instead of going back and forth, try the following:
Go to a playground with a buried bucket loader tire (0 psi, agree?), try push on the sidewall, see if it even budges.
Now go to a truck wreck yard, find a G rated 11r22.5 tire, push on the sidewall. Should move, but still super stiff, right?
Find a P rated car tire, push on it again.
Find a bicyle tire, push on the sidewall.
All 4 tires are at 0 psi, correct? Massive difference in sidewall lateral stiffness.
If you STILL don't agree, think about how a run-flat tire works. Why can you drive on it with 0 psi, but not a normal tire? Ever felt one at the tire store to see how stiff they are?
Go buy you a Goodyear and Michelin and check out the difference in the unmounted sidewall stiffness. Now get them mounted and add air and see how much difference there is.
Yes my car has run flats. They actually have a tire inside the tire.
