Inspecting & Pressure
The Load and Infl ation Table will help determine correct tire infl ation pressure after properly weighing the
motorhome. All pressures are rated at a cold psi. Cold psi is defi ned as early in the morning before the day’s
ambient temperature, sun’s radiant heat or the heat generated while driving have caused the tire pressure to
temporarily increase. Tire pressure should be checked in the morning before the motorhome has been driven more
than one mile. Check tire infl ation regularly. Use a quality truck tire gauge with an angle airhead to access the
dual wheel positions of the drive axle. Ensure the valve cap is replaced on the stem after the infl ation pressure
is checked. Use valve stem caps with a positive seal to prevent air escaping from the valve stem. If there are
extension hoses on the valve stem, make sure they are quality reinforced stainless steel braid. Attach hoses
securely to the outer wheel. The valve stem cap guarantees the valve core will remain free of dirt and foreign
material. Material lodged between the valve core and internal stem can cause slow leaks resulting in tire failure.
Optimum tire performance is achieved at proper infl ation pressure for the load carried.
DO NOT
mix tires of
different tread patterns, size or construction on the same axle. The difference in traction could cause rear end gear
fi ght and mechanical damage to the drive train.
CAUTION:
Never let air out of a hot tire.
WARNING:
Improperly inflated tires can effect handling or cause sudden tire failure possibly resulting
in loss of vehicle control of the motorhome. Always use an accurate tire pressure gauge when
checking tire pressure.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride.
• Tire bruising or carcass damage.
• Rapid tread wear in the center of the tire.
Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns.
• Separations.
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
• Circumferential breaks.
• Tire container may bruise or rupture.
• Higher risk of road hazard.
• Tire cord breakage.
• Loss of casing durability.
• Excessive tire temperature.
• High fuel consumption.
• Reduced handling quality.
WARNING:
A slow leak may go unnoticed on one of the dual tires. This can cause the good tire paired
with it to fail due to exceeding the load limits it is designed to carry. Tires with damaged
sidewalls can burst upon inflation. A flat or nearly flat tire can also generate enough heat
from friction to ignite.
