Eric,
You said you have LT tires on your Montana, not ST or other trailer tires. How long have you had them and how do they handle? Our first trailer was a used 20' HiLo and the tires on it were quite old. I knew nothing about trailers back then and put new tires on that were not trailer tires. Later that year we (I) rolled the truck and trailer up near Bishop CA. There were lots of contributing factors, including size of truck (Dodge Dakota), weight distribution in trailer (holding tanks in rear full, fresh water in front empty), speed (65 mph), and a cross wind. But I also think that the use of the auto tires instead of trailer tires contributed to the fishtailing that eventually flipped us. Since then I've been somewhat paranoid about our tires on trailers.

Does anyone else have any thoughts or experience about this?
