Hi, I would like some advice. I towed a tractor to a show on a new trailer for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I know for a fact that the trailer was front-heavy as recommended. I have anti-sway bar, which kept the trailer from swaying. However, after one stop it came off, and I had problems with the trailer swaying side to side. The question is: The guy had put new radial light truck tires on it, not bias-ply trailer tires. I ran the tires at the highest rated pressure listed on the tire. Do I need to put trailer tires on the trailer to eliminate the sway? Since the trailer was properly loaded, the weight distribution wasn't the problem. My supposition is that the softer radial LT tires encouraged the oscillation. Can anyone tell me for sure? Thanks
Rick
