TIRES
The tires on your RV are specially constructed for the unique requirements of recreation
vehicle travel. They are tested under Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) standards at
the allowed highway speed limits. 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. Refer to tire information supplied with your units literature.
Some guidelines to follow for routine tire maintenance include:
• Always follow the recommended tire pressure which is stamped on the tire sidewall.
Keep the air pressure at the recommended psi. You must follow the manufacturer’s
inflation guidelines for maximum load capacity. Underinflation is just as dangerous
as overinflation.
.
NOTE: Tires are warranted by the tire manufacturer and are to be serviced and
warranted by an appropriate service center. They are not to be returned to the
independent, authorized dealer or trailer manufacturer.
• Always check the tire pressure when they are cold. As tires are in motion, the
temperature will rise. This will cause the air pressure to increase. DO NOT release air
pressure as tires become hot.
• Check the tire pressure and condition of the tires every day while traveling. Make
sure to look for cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc. If you are parked for an
extended period, check the tire pressure at least once a week.
• Examine your tires frequently for unusual wear. Alignment, balance and bearing
wear will effect tire wear.

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 certification label, affixed to the roadside
front corner of your trailer, to determine the correct tire pressure.
Underinflation may cause tire failures and swaying. This will result in
loss of control, injury, death or property damage.
• If a tire needs to be replaced, make sure it is the same size and load capacity as those
originally supplied with your trailer. Refer to the unit’s Federal Certification Label
for the proper tire size and load range. If you have further questions, consult with
your independent, authorized dealer or local tire store.
I
WARNING: Be sure to use only tires that are rated for trailer 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 trailer 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.
