| Stop that sway!!
I have a 3/4 ton Suburban that never seemed to tow without some apparently induced sway. I have SteelTex's as well, E load range. The size is 235/85x16. The sway was because I did not read the inflation requirements on the sidewall. I was running 45/50psi which I thought was fine. The proper inflation is 80PSI!!!
What a difference! Sway is a thing of the past. Since the truck was designed and delivered with this same tire the ride is tolerable. It's an older truck so some of the modern comforts are lacking, but with less than 120K on a strong 454 which was paid off 18 years ago, I'm quite happy.
Bottom line: read the inflation requirements, believe them and buy the correct size and ply rating for your application. It just makes life a little easier, and who doesn't need that?
Take care
