Maintenance
Tires
Before mounting tires onto wheels make certain that the rim size and contour is
approved for the tire as shown in the Tire and Rim Association Yearbook or the tire
manufacturers catalog. Also make sure the tire will carry the rated load. If the load is
not equal on all tires due to trailer weight distribution, use the tire rated for the heaviest
wheel position.
To determine the tire capacity for LT and ST tires, use the capacity rating molded
into the tire.
Use tire mounting procedures as outlined by the Rubber Manufacturers Association
or the tire manufacturer.
Inflation Pressure
Correct tire inflation pressure (LT245/75R 16 “E”- 80 psi, ST225/75R 15 “D”- 65 psi)
is the most important factor in tire life. Inflation pressure should be as recommended by
the manufacturer for the load. 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. Use the tire wear diagnostic chart to
help you pinpoint the causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
NOTE: Tire wear should be checked frequently because once a wear pattern be-
comes firmly established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the underlying cause is
corrected.
