Proper inflation pressure should be determined after the motor home has been
fully loaded and weighed. Divide the steer axle weight by 2 when determining
the load carried by each of the front tires. The drive axle weight is divided by 4
when determining the load carried.
Tires of different patterns should not be mixed on the same axle.The differ-
ence in tractive force could cause rear end gear fight and mechanical damage to
the drive train. Tires of different size or construction must never be mixed on the
same axle.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride
• Tire bruising or carcass damage
• Rapid tread wear at center of tire
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
The useful tire life of your tire is achieved by the uniform wear for all tires.
This can be increased with tire rotation. The first tire rotation is the most impor-
tant. The tire rotation pattern used for your motorhome should be evaluated by
your Goodyear Tire Center. Any unusual or unique wear pattern which may have
developed should be evaluated before rotation. Misalignment, imbalance or other
mechanical problem 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 Goodyear warranty. Monaco Coach Corporation is not
responsible for tire wear.
The correct wheel alignment promotes longer tire wear and ease of handling
while minimizing the strain on the steering system and the axle components.
