tires).

be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
Replacement
If you experience a flat tire on your RV while driving, gradually decrease your vehicle
speed (if possible). Hold the steering wheel firmly and move the RV to a safe place on the
side of the road.
Any service or warranty coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire store representing the
brand installed on your RV. They are not to be returned to your dealer or Jayco.

WARNING
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for RV use. The use of passenger tires should
be avoided. The load rating/range embossed on the sidewall of passenger tires must
be de-rated accordingly; they do not have the same load capability as tires that are
specifically identified for RV use. Failure to use tires that are properly matched to
your recreation vehicle could lead to premature tire wear or less than optimum trailer
handling.
WARNING
When replacing a tire make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal Certification label.)
WARNING
DO NOT exceed the maximum load capacities of 100 lbs. for the hoist. DO NOT
use air driven guns or impact wrenches to lift the spare tire to the travel position.
