[VAC] Re: what brand of tire is good?



It's quite smooth.  You can just feel it.  As others have said, the rubber
is more flexible and therefore you don't feel the small bumps.  Another
indicator is the condition of the contents in the cupboards when we arrive
at our destination.  I imagine in the long run, less working rivets and
loose screws.
Some say there will be more sway and theoretically, I guess that's true but
my rig doesn't sway any more or less with radials, at least perceivable.  I
can imaging if the sidewalls are more flexible that the coach might rock a
little but again, I don't notice it.  I think the benefits far outweigh the
negatives, if there are any.
BTW, spin balance with the wheels on the coach will help too.  Some tire
stores don't have a wheel spinner though.
