This is the 1st installment in our 3 part series on trailer tire selection, care and maintenance. Passenger car tires achieve comfort in part by making the sidewalls of the tires softer, allowing the sidewalls to flex. Many trailers (especially enclosed cargo trailers and car haulers) have higher centers of gravity than the typical tow vehicle and sidewall flexing in this case can lead to increased trailer sway. The stiffer sidewalls and higher inflation pressures on ST (Special Trailer) tires helps to reduce trailer sway. To learn how and why trailers will pull better and ride smoother on ST tires engineered and manufactured for trailers, please visit http://www.trailersoftheeastcoast.com/read-our--blog-150-st-tires-lt-tires-passenger-car-tires-the-right-tires-for-yourtrailer Our second installment on trailer tires covered GVWR, GVAR and load capacity (http://www.trailersoftheeastcoast.com/read-our--blog-151-gvwr-gawr-getting-the-right-tires-for-your-trailer).
