Sharon kept on me until I finally listened and after several "tire" places who said nothing was wrong, I took her advice and took my RV to a "tire alignment" place. He found I had a missing camber shim. As the way it drove before, I wanted every precaution taken, so added front/rear sway bars, Safe T Plus for the steering (probably over-kill), new shocks and aligned all my tires. Drives very well now and I feel more at ease driving the interstates. Oh, and as my spare tire is mounted under the rig and out of sight, he found the wheel was the wrong one for my rig so I ended up replacing it and the tire.
I left a hefty chunk of change there, but also a big chunk of fear.

And you're still getting it wrong! ROFLOL!! FRONT END ALIGNMENT, not tire align. Tires get balanced, front ends get aligned!
