What Year is your 2500 SRW truck??
I have a 2007 3500
Ran Michelins all the years we FT'd
YES they need 'wear in' miles...by 1000 miles they are done with that squiggle feeling
I tow heavy....with WET pin of 3100# (puts me right at RAWR)
I run 80# rear tires and 55# front tires
I do NOT have air bags......overloads are engaged when 5vr is hitched up
I know it's slightly different then having a camper on truck but weight is weight
I think you are running too high pressure in fronts (70#)
As suggested ...CAT scales to get weights with camper on truck
Compare actual weight being carried by F/R axles and adjust air pressures accordingly
No Scales...
Quick check is to use some 'side walk chalk' (big wide stick)
run chalk across tire thread side to side (big mark)\
Drive truck forward 25' and check wear on chalk
Chalk missing on center area...too much pressure
Chalk missing on inner/outer edges...not enough pressure
Even chalk missing across thread....right amount of pressure
