[VAC] Re: tires & wheels (radials)



Load level E will probably be a stiffer tire and so give a stiffer ride,
but better stability and tire life from not being loaded up to ratings.

Radials tend to be fatter and harder to fit in the Airstream wheel
wells. Radials on a trailer tend to give less stability in a cross wind
(or wind gusts), but roll more easily with less heating of the tire and
less thrust required.
