Tires and wheels are a very important and critical
components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the
trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are
properly matched.
Tire Wear/Inflation
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.
Pressure should be checked cold before operation
DO NOT
bleed air from tires when they are
hot!
. Check inflation
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life
and tread wear.
Table 13 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.

springs and associated components
(Figure 45) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles
for signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and
loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts
(suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components
as detailed in Table 14.
