Importance of Air Pressure
The most important factor
in maximizing the life of the
tires is maintaining proper
ination pressure. Driving with
an underinated or overinated
tire is dangerous and may cause
premature wear, tire damage,
sudden tire failure that can result in
loss of control of the motorhome.
A tire that is underinated will
cause excess heat that can exceed
operating limits of the tire and
could result in sudden failure and
re. An underinated tire will also
cause poor handling, rapid and/or
irregular tire wear and increases
rolling resistance and decreases
fuel economy.
WARNING:
Driving on a tire that is
underinflated can exceed
the design limits of the
tire and may damage
the sidewall. A damaged
sidewall can suddenly burst
upon inflation resulting
in serious damage, injury
or death. Aged tires are
also susceptible to sidewall
damage.
A tire that is overinated will
reduce the footprint/contact patch
with the road reducing traction,
brake effectiveness and handling.
Overination will also cause
a harsh ride, uneven tire wear
and make the tire susceptible
to impact damage. Maintaining
correct ination pressure is of
utmost importance for safety and
reliability and should be a part of
regular maintenance checks.
Underination 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.
Overination can cause:
 Hard ride.
 Tire bruising or carcass
damage.
 Rapid tread wear in the
center of the tire.
Unequal Tire Pressures on the
Same Axle Causes:
 Uneven braking.
 Swerve upon acceleration.
 Torque steer.
 Reduced handling quality.
Tire Inflation Information
Federal law requires the size
of the tire, the tire’s maximum
ination pressure and load
capacity as well as load range be
molded into the sidewall of the
tire. Ination pressure will vary
dependent upon the weight of the
motorhome when fully loaded
ready for travel. Always comply
with the tire manufacturer’s
recommended ination pressure.
This requires the motorhome be
weighed in a loaded, ready to
travel condition, to determine
actual weight carried by the tires.
Actual weight of the motorhome
can vary signicantly depending
on how it is loaded. For optimum
tire wear, ride and optimum
handling always comply with the
manufacturer’s suggested ination
pressure for the actual weight
of the motor home. From the
factory, the tires are inated to the
maximum pressure.
When the motorhome is loaded
ready for travel, check and adjust
ination pressure on each tire
as indicated in the load ination
table.
