The steering is more sensitive. Now with the 5er hooked up, I can feel when the big rigs pass more than witht he previous tires as well as the crosswinds. A little too much sway for my comfort. I will play with the air pressure a little bit, and if that doesn't work, I will try to swap out the tires. I can't believe this isn't more of a common problem. Maybe it's with the Nittos only.
I don't know if it is or not, but it's possible.

Like i said, i don't experience the swaying or fishtailing at all with my 5er. Mainly when i pull tandom, and i'm moving the steering wheel over bumps.

If you haven't seen a pic of my trailer, it's quite high off the ground and i can almost sit up straight while under it. I've since lifted it another inch, which was done after this shot was taken.
