For your convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in
your RV. Gauges can be purchased at tire dealership’s, auto supply
stores and other retail stores.
Tire Size
To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as
the vehicle’s original tires or another size recommended by the
manufacturer. Look at the tire information placards, or the sidewall
of the tire you are replacing to find this information. If you have any
doubt about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer.
Tire Tread
The tire tread provides the gripping action and traction that prevent
your vehicle from slipping or sliding, especially when the road is wet
or icy. In general, tires are not safe and should be replaced when
the tread is worn down to 1/16 of an inch. Tires have built-in tread
wear indicators that let you know when it is time to replace your
tires. These indicators are raised sections spaced intermittently in
the bottom of the tread grooves. When they appear “even” with the
outside of the tread, it is time to replace your tires.
Tire Balance and Wheel Alignment
Tires are not balanced on your unit, nor is it required. You may
choose to balance the tires on your unit, however this will not be
covered under warranty.
Wheel alignments may be needed periodically due to road hazards,
such as pot holes, etc. This also is not covered under warranty, due
to being a uncontrollable element. Wheel alignments, will assist with
getting the maximum life from your tires. Alignments require special
equipment, and should be performed by a qualified technician.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of
each journey, and at least once per week to obtain the maximum life of the
tires.
