Tire pressure is the most important factor in the life and performance of your tire.

✔

Inflation pressure should be as recommended by the manufacturer or as the federal label for the
trailer dictates.

✔

Pressure should be checked when tires are cold.

DO NOT

bleed air from hot tires.

✔

Check inflation pressures weekly to insure maximum tire life and travel wear.

✔

Periodically check spare tire inflation pressure.

✔

The following tire wear diagnostic chart will help you pinpoint the causes and solutions to some
common tire wear problems.

TIRE WEAR DIAGNOSTIC CHART

NOTE:

Tire wear should be checked frequently. Once a wear pattern becomes established in a tire, the stop-

ping capability is significantly reduced, even if underlying cause is corrected.
