Aftermarket Wheels.. "Let's See Em "

[Jared J]

I wouldn't run passenger tires, but at the same time, if they're causing sway, there are more issues, IMHO. my 19' had tiny 185/70/13 (something like that) passenger tires on it, and was straight as an arrow at 80 (other than the bounce from no suspension, but it didn't sway).

With all the threads on a bike rack making a scamp sway, the tongue weight must be way light on these smaller campers.

If that's for me, Jared, The problem was flubbering bouncing, which can and did precipitate sway. The condition disappeared when on the advice of my RV guy I put the correct tires on the trailer, making no other changes.

There really is no controversy as to the inadvisability of running P-metrics on camptrailers. LT's are a different matter, as we both well know...

Scamp's 19' 5th wheel is an entirely different thing than bumper pull trailers.

I'm giving in. I'm going to trust Maxxis and try running their ST's and see what happens. I'll be crossing my fingers.

Yep, which is why I referenced the light tongue weight of the others. I've pulled plenty of trailers with passenger tires, never had a sway problem.

Again, I think its a tongue weight issue, which brings us to that evil problem of proper tongue weight vs. what a tow rig can actually handle. I try to run at least 15% tongue weight, myself. that's for another thread, though...

Okay, moderators, now how about moving six more posts to a more appropriate thread?

These are the wheels on my 2013 Lil Snoozy.
I opted for the aluminum mags. Haven't checked to see what brand they are.

Sorry didn't mean to get this thread off track. Anyway I have a pair of 14x6 aluminum slots from an old project that I am gonna check the back spacing on and see if I can run them on my 16' scamp. I'm a bit of a car guy/ nut and want to add a bit of personality to it when I tow it behind my 64 F-100 to shows...
