TIRE CARE
Tires are a very precisely engineered product designed for specific applications
and use. The tire functions as the sole contact between the vehicle and the
road. Therefore, it must provide several different functions in order for your
recreational vehicle to handle properly. Most important are traction while
moving, grip when steering or stopping, and a comfortable ride for you and
your passengers. The Tires on your recreational vehicle are designed for
highway use and must be properly maintained in order to maximize tire life, as
well to provide a safe mode of transportation. Always keep your tires clean and
properly inflated.
Correct tire inflation is a key component in tire care. The recommended inflation
pressures for your tires are indicated on the certification label or in your owner’s
manual. Since RVs can be loaded with many different configurations, the load
on each tire will vary. For this reason, air pressure should be checked based on
the load on each individual tire. Cold Inflation Pressure should be adjusted to
handle the maximum tire load, and all tires on the axle should carry the same
inflation pressure.
Tips on Tire Care
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in use as a result of punctures,
impact damage, improper inflation or other conditions resulting from use. Tire
failures may create a risk of property damage or personal injury. To reduce the
risk of tire failure we strongly recommend the following:
1. Check the pressure in your tires, including your spare, at least monthly
when the tires are cool (after the vehicle has stopped three hours and then
driven less than one mile.) Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot. Use a
tire gauge to check pressure and maintain it at the recommended level.
2. Never overload your tires. The maximum load carrying capability of your
tires is molded on the sidewall of the tire.
3. Check your tires frequently for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts or
snags resulting from use. See your tire dealer immediately if any such
condition is discovered.
4. Never operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or the maximum
speeds justified by driving conditions, or in excess of speeds recommended
for the tire you are using.
5. Make every effort to avoid running over objects that may damage the tire
through impact or cutting, such as chuckholes, glass, metal, etc.
6. Never drive on smooth tires. Tires should be removed when 2/32nds inch
of tread depth remains. In most states it is illegal to drive with less than
2/32nds inch remaining tread depth.
