SECTION 5
RV TIRES
31
Read and understand the following before
taking your first trip in your RV!
Proper care and maintenance of your tires is
essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel. Taking time to
become educated on the special qualities of RV
tires and care they require will enhance your
travel enjoyment.
Routine maintenance on your RV is important,
but it cannot be overstated just how critical
proper tire maintenance is to the safety,
operation and durability of your new RV. You
must follow the manufacturer’s inflation
guidelines for maximum load capacity; under-
inflation is just as dangerous as over-inflation.
To insure your tires are operating safely,
regular inspection of your tires and checking tire
pressures is absolutely mandatory.
Examine your tires frequently for unusual wear.
Alignment, balance and bearing wear will affect
tire wear. Make sure to look for cracking,
bulging, uneven tread wear, etc. Check and
adjust tire pressures before and after each trip.
Always check and adjust with the tires cold.
Never add or release pressure from the tires
when they are hot (or after having driven a mile
or more).
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.
If
you have questions regarding your tires,
contact the tire OEM or Jayco Customer
Service.
your dealer or local tire store.

Your tires are manufactured with
components that cause “bleeding” onto the
tire cover. To prevent this, it is
recommended to use a separator (garbage
bag, paper, cloth, etc.) between the tire and
the cover.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked at the beginning of each journey
to obtain the maximum life of the tire.
Follow the instructions listed on the
Federal Certification label, affixed to the
roadside front corner of your trailer, to
determine the correct tire pressure. Under-
inflation may cause tire failures and
swaying; this may result in loss of control,
injury, death or property damage.
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label.)
Failure to follow proper inflation
guidelines may result in tire failure,
which, under certain circumstances can
cause loss of vehicle control or
accidents that may result in property
damage, bodily injury and/or death.
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.
