OK, here's a question for the experts... I have a buddy that wants to buy a travel trailer. He's single, so initially he was looking at travel trailers in the 19-22' range. After spending some time...

The weight of the tires is one thing, but the increased diameter has even more effect on the acceleration and braking performance. The axles have less leverage on the wheels so it takes more power to get them turning, and the wheels have more leverage on the brakes so it takes more to stop them from turning.
A while back we had a thread on here from a guy who lifted his Chevy 2500, and was complaining that power was way down when towing... His problem was he went from stock ~32" tall tires to 37" tall tires. Several people told him to put the stock tires back on, and like a miracle, his power was back!
