TIRES
Tires are available in a variety of load
ratings and sizes, and if the tires you currently
have cannot handle the load, it maybe possible
to replace your tires with tires of higher pound capacity.
Bear in mind, that the ultimate capacity of the truck is
determined by the weakest link in the system.
This could be the tires, wheels, suspension or brakes.
The maximum ratings are molded into the side of the tire.
The sidewall of the tire shows maximum and minimum
inflation pressure for that load.
Be sure you also know the load and inflation pressure
ratings for your wheels as well. Often, these are
stamped on the inside of the wheels, but if not, your
dealer can help you find out what they are.
Never exceed the maximum load or inflation pressure
of your wheels.
Driving on under-inflated tires can cause the tires
to overheat, which leads to the breakdown of the tire’s
internal structure. Improper inflation also can reduce
your ability to control your vehicle. Tire blowouts
occur more during summer months than any other
time of the year. Properly inflated tires last longer,
run quieter, grip better, increase fuel mileage and
safely support and control your vehicle.
Check your tire pressure once a month and each
time before you take a trip with your truck and camper.
Use a quality air pressure gauge to check the pressure.
Do not under-inflate or over-inflate your tires. Inspect your
tires for uneven or excessive wear.
Look for bulges, cuts, or blisters on the sidewalls.
When you’re traveling, do as professional commercial
drivers do: inspect your tires regularly and check and
adjust cold inflation pressure every day that you travel.
CAUTION
Individual wheel position weights must not
exceed the maximum tire load capacity. Maximum tire
load capacity can only be achieved utilizing the
maximum allowable psi as listed on the sidewall of the
tire.
