Any one have a new Aero Tech truck that was built with flaws? (issues) or have you had handling issues-swaying or all over the road?I have a large list of problems.

no AT, but have you ever drove a cab forward box truck before??

Ever put it on scale to check front and rear axle weight?
Not talking what the specs are, I'm talking have you scaled the front and rear axles to be sure your load is proper
(like a giant size fresh water tank too far aft of rear axle)

most any RV dealer can scale it

again, any experience driving a cab forward ?

Yes i have, this is my second cab over. Yes I have had the weight Checked and the front end twice. As far as front and rear specs i'm sure Aero Tech did that. This is a tire issue on the NQR.

Yes The tires on the NQR. The front tires should be steer tires.Not the same as the rear tires. I think the side walls are not thick enough and a soft Noby tred.

I am running 19.5 good year tires on mine and it is steady as a rock...70/75 MPH down the highway with no shutter or swaying at all....

the only thing that is different from yours and mine would be the waste tank in the center...other then that,...weight should be about the same...

Mine is a Chevy W4500...

Jim I like that solid sidewall. My Chevy has Fluffstones. Like riding on water balloons


Van or large truck...add weight with soft sidewalls is not a good feeling when your driving down the interstate at 70 MPH and you get into a rut.....

Nobody in this thread has said what Load Range (E..F,G,H...) the tires are rated?

On a van I'd never buy less than E, but many do. I'd think the big trucks would be at least F.

Load range is F on mine......I think it is pretty standard on those type tires........(?)
