Replacement tires must be the same size and type per axle, and have at least the same weight
carrying capacity as the original equipment. Tires supplied by various Manufacturers of same
size and rating may not have the same weight carrying capacity and maximum cold inflation
pressures. Consult your tire Dealer.

CAUTION!
Wheels and tires equipped with your travel trailer are extremely heavy. Do not attempt to

obtain expert tire service help. Do not attempt to change the tire yourself.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TRAVEL TRAILERS
Safety First – Basic Tire Maintenance
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of
your vehicle. Under inflated tires and overloaded vehicles are major causes of tire failure.
Therefore, as mentioned above, to avoid flat tires and other types of tire failure, you should
maintain proper tire pressure, observe tire and vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards, and
regularly inspect your tires.
Finding Your Vehicle's Recommended Tire Pressure and Load Limits
Tire information placards and vehicle certification labels contain information on tires and load
limits. These labels indicate the vehicle manufacturer's information including:
•
Recommended tire size
•
Recommended tire inflation pressure
