Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns.
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
• Tire rim bruises and rupture.
• Tire cord breakage.
• High tire temperatures.
• Reduced handling.
• High fuel consumption.
Unequal tire pressures on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking, swerve of acceleration.
• Steering lead, torque steer.
• Reduced handling.
Tire rotation can increase the useful life of the tires by achieving uniform
wear on all of the tires. The first tire rotation is the most important. The tire
rotation pattern used for the motorhome should be evaluated by the tire
manufacturer. Any unusual or unique wear pattern which may have developed
should be evaluated before rotation. Misalignment, imbalance or other
mechanical problems may exist and will need corrected prior to rotation.
The tire rotation should be performed every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or at any
sign of uneven wear. After a tire rotation, the inflation pressures should be
checked and adjusted for the actual loads of the wheel position accordingly.
Tires are covered by the tire manufacturer. Monaco is not responsible for
tire wear.
Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the
tires are fully supported when placing blocks under
the tires. The load on the tire should be evenly distrib-
uted on the block. In the case of dual tires, distribute
the load evenly on blocks for both tires. If not prop-
erly blocked, the steel cables in the sidewall of the
tires may be damaged and could lead to premature
fatigue of the sidewall.
Proper Cleaning:
Road oil will cause deterioration of the rubber.
Dirt buildup will help hold chemicals in the air next
to the tire and will also cause deterioration.
When cleaning any rubber product, proper care
and methods in cleaning must be used to obtain the
maximum service years out of the tires. Use a soft
brush and a mild detergent to clean the tires. If a
dressing product is used to “protect” the tires from
