ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
TIRE AND SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED
SAFETY FIRST BASIC TIRE MAINTENANCE
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction and load carrying capability
of your motorhome. Under inflated tires and overloaded vehicles are a major cause of tire
failure. Therefore as mentioned above, to avoid flat tires and other types of tire failure, you
should maintain proper tire pressure, observe tire and vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards
and regularly inspect your tires.
FINDING YOUR MOTORHOMES RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE AND LOAD
LIMITS
Tire information placards and vehicle certification labels contain information on tires and load
limits. These labels indicate the vehicle manufacturer's information including:
•
Recommended tire size.
•
Recommended tire inflation pressure.
•
Vehicle capacity weight (VCW - the maximum occupant and cargo weight a motorhome
is designed to carry).
•
Front and rear gross axle weight ratings (GAWR - the maximum weight the axle systems
are designed to carry).
UNDERSTANDING TIRE PRESSURE AND LOAD LIMITS
Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load carrying capacity
and affects the overall performance of the motorhome. The tire inflation pressure is a number
that indicates the amount of air pressure - measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) - a tire
requires to be properly inflated. (You will also find this number on the motorhome information
placard expressed in kilopascals (kPa), which is the metric measure used internationally).
Motorhome manufacturers determine this number based on the motorhome's design load limit,
that is the greatest amount of weight a motorhome can safely carry and the motorhome's tire
size. The proper tire pressure for your motorhome is referred to as the "recommended cold
inflation pressure".
Because tires are designed to be used on more than one type of vehicle, tire manufacturers list
the "maximum permissible inflation pressure" on the tire sidewall. This number is the greatest
amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.
