The motorhome tires play an important role in the load carrying capacity of the vehicle. To
ensure good tire life, check tires often. Inspect the general condition of the tires, as well as
the air pressure.
Always check the air pressure when the tires are cold. Tires that are hot from traveling will
show higher pressures. The maximum tire pressure and the load carrying capacity of the tire
are imprinted on each tire sidewall as well as on the vehicle serial number I.D. tag. Always
inflate the tires to their correct pressure. Do not over or under inflate. Under inflated tires will
run hot, shorten the tire’s life and decrease the motorhomes safe load limit. Over inflated tires
will cause a rough and bouncing ride that could damage motorhome components or cargo. It
is a good idea to always carry an accurate tire pressure gauge in the motorhome to make
these checks. If pressure checks indicate that a tire is losing air, check for signs of valve
leakage, penetration, or wheel and rim damage.
The way you drive can have a significant effect on the wear and life of tires also. High
speeds, unusual use of the brakes, taking corners too quickly, quick starts, and surfaces in
poor condition all can attribute to the early wear and failure of your tires.
CAUTION: When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the
same size and specifications.
If you notice damage to a tire such as a bulge, uneven wear, or damage by a foreign object
or the road, have it inspected and repaired or replaced as needed. Remember that tires
should be taken to an authorized tire repair facility.
If you experience a flat tire, it is recommended that you have qualified personnel with the
proper equipment handle the problem. Due to the size and weight of a motorhome wheel and
tire assembly, as well as the amount of torque needed to tighten wheel nuts securely, it is
best to call in a professional. It is for this reason that a jack has not been included in this
motorhome.
