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