What's so magic about trailer tires anyhow?


Trailer tires are usually designed for higher inflation pressure which
helps them run cooler and stiffens up the sidewalls, all of which
improves longevity and reduces trailer sway.


Wayne, I can sort of understand what you mean by trailer sway, but a
lot of trailers are using radials now which sway too.


But I know what you're saying.
