Tire care for the next trip – Motor Home

Pulled this from a Good Sam advertisement.  It will apply as well to any RV tires.  You can tell I am thinking about getting mine out of storage and doing some weekends when I get home.  – WD0AJG

As you prepare your Motorhome for your next trip, follow these 9 simple tire safety tips:

 

  1. When the tires are cold, check the air pressure to ensure it’s within the manufacturer’s suggested guidelines.
  2. Don’t let air out of a hot tire. Doing so may result in an under–inflated tire when it cools.
  3. Level your Motorhome, and chock the wheels whenever it will be parked for a couple of days or longer.
  4. If a tire is punctured, have it dismounted and professionally repaired from the inside.
  5. Don’t use petroleum– or alcohol–based tire products.
    This can accelerate tire wear.
  6. Replace any tire that is over 7 years old, even if it looks new.
  7. Help prevent ozone and UV damage by washing your
    tires with mild soap and water, scrubbing them with
    a soft brush.
  8. Be sure to keep your tires covered when your Motorhome is off the road.
  9. Know the weight of your Motorhome (when loaded), and make sure your tires are rated appropriately.
