Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride.
• Tire bruising or carcass damage.
• Rapid tread wear in the center of the tire.
WARNING: Improperly inflated tires
can effect handling or cause sudden
tire failure possibly resulting in loss
of vehicle control. Always use an
accurate tire pressure gauge when
checking tire pressure.
Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns.
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
• Tire rim bruises and rupture.
• Tire cord breakage.
• Excessive tire temperature.
• Reduced handling quality.
• High fuel consumption.
Unequal tire pressures on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking, swerve upon acceleration.
• Steering lead, torque steer.
• Reduced handling quality.
WARNING: Driving on a tire with low air pressure can
exceed the design limits of the tire. Damage to the sidewall
of the tire can occur. A damaged sidewall can burst upon
inflation causing serious damage, injury or death. Aged tires
are also susceptible to sidewall damage. For safety purposes
clear the area of people and pets during tire inflation.
Inflate tires using a remote inflation device.
Tire rotation can increase the useful life of the tires by achieving uniform
wear on all of the tires. The first tire rotation is the most important. Have the
tire manufacturer determine the tire rotation pattern. Any unusual or unique
wear pattern or signs of uneven wear that may have developed should be evalu-
ated for possible tire rotation. Misalignment, imbalance or other mechanical
problems may exist and will need corrected prior to rotation.
The tire rotation should be performed if there is any sign of uneven wear.
After a tire rotation, check and adjust the inflation pressures for the actual loads
of the wheel position accordingly.
Tires are warranted by the tire manufacturer. The motorhome manufacturer
is not responsible for warranty coverage or tire wear.
