2021 Reflefection - wheels kant on tight turns
I've occasionally noticed wheel marks on the asphalt after backing our FW into our storage facility and always thought it was the truck's front tires making the marks. Pulling out this afternoon, I noticed that it was my FW tires seeming to skid as I made a slow, tight turn coming out of the garage. Looking closer, in a tight right turn, the right front wheel, and the left rear wheel on the FW seem to kant inward (reversed on a left turn and all come into line when running straight). I can't tell if it is sidewall flex or if the entire wheel is kanting. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Tires are Goodyear Endurance E rated.

This is common with trailer suspension on really tight turns.

Yep, it’s normal on hard surfaces in tight turns.

As Others have started it is normal. After backing in , pull forward about 10 ft or more then back again and it should straighten the tires up. It's better for the tires and suspension to do this.

Grand Design advertises the Turning Point hitch as having the ability to allow a 90 degree turning radius. Can you imagine the stress this would put on the tires and suspension?

My slant was minimized when I put the CRE3000 suspension on.

Not trying to raise a sleeping dog, but thought this a great example why ST tires are recommended by trailer manufacturers vs LT tires since ST tires have stronger sidewall reinforcement.

An oft repeated "Old RVer's Tale". ST tires sidewalls are tissue paper compared to an LT tire. I don't understand how this hoary, but false, aphorism continues to be circulated. Just physically compare an ST tire vs an LT tire, you'll easily see, and feel, the difference.
