Read and understand the following
before taking your first trip in your
RV!
Proper care and maintenance of your tires is
essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel. Taking time to
become educated on the special qualities of
RV tires and care they require will enhance
your travel enjoyment.
Routine maintenance on your RV is important,
but it cannot be overstated just how critical
proper tire maintenance is to the safety,
operation and durability of your new RV. You
must
follow the manufacturer’s inflation
guidelines for maximum load capacity;
under-inflation is just as dangerous as
over-inflation. To insure your tires are
operating safely, regular inspection of your
tires and checking tire pressures is absolutely
mandatory.
Examine your tires frequently for unusual
wear. Alignment, balance and bearing wear
will affect tire wear. Make sure to look for
cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc.
Check and adjust tire pressures before and
after each trip. Always check and adjust with
the tires cold. Never add or release pressure
from the tires when they are hot (or after
having driven a mile or more).
Replacement
If you experience a flat tire on your RV while
driving, gradually decrease your vehicle speed
(if possible). Hold the steering wheel firmly and
move the RV to a safe place on the side of the
road. Any service or warranty coverage on
tires is to be handled by the tire store
representing the brand installed on your RV;
they are not to be returned to your dealer or
Jayco.
If you have questions regarding your
tires, contact the tire OEM or Jayco
Customer Service.

Your tires are manufactured with components
that cause “bleeding” onto the tire cover. To
prevent this, it is recommended to use a
separator (garbage bag, paper, cloth, etc.)
between the tire and the cover.

RV TIRES
DANGER
Failure to follow proper inflation
guidelines may result in tire failure,
which, under certain circumstances can
cause
loss of vehicle control or
accidents that may result in property
damage, bodily injury and/or death.
WARNING
It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked at the beginning of each journey to
obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow
the instructions listed on the Federal
Certification label, affixed to the roadside
front corner of your trailer, to determine the
correct tire pressure. Under-inflation may
cause tire failures and swaying; this may
result in loss of control, injury, death or
property damage.
WARNING
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for
RV use. The use of passenger tires should
be
avoided. The load rating/ range
embossed on the sidewall of passenger
tires must be de-rated accordingly; they do
not have the same load capability as tires
that are specifically identified for RV use.
Failure to use tires that are properly
matched to your recreation vehicle could
lead to premature tire wear or less than
optimum trailer handling.
WARNING
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications
(refer to the Federal
Certification label).
