Patrick,
I've seen folks here who say they're using radial tires, and only onemention of
their causing stability problems. "It seems to me" (<<grin>>)that with their
notorious side-to-side flex, radial tires could lead to sway problems.Is this the
case, or does the anti-sway device, Pullright, or Hensley Hitch takecare of this?
Or do radial tires NOT lead to instability?

<<Jim>>
