A benefit of steel belted sidewalls is they are less likely to be damaged when rubbing or hitting curb. One big disadvatage is if you have a blow out a lot more damage will be done to your camper!
Did you have the tires balanced? I just installed a set this May on my 5er and I thought the items in the camper road better than before. I did have the Michelins Ribs balanced. Since the tires from Keystone that were on the trailer were not balanced. The items seem to bounce around more and drawers would open sometimes.
