    tire maintenance

    What's the best way to maintain tires over winter? Our 2014 R-Pod is a 178 Hood River edition and after 5 years of use the original beefy tires have been replaced with light truck tires. During the off season the covered trailer is parked on gravel, well drained; tires do not get direct...

    Exactly what is "cold" for tire pressure?

    One inflates the tires to a given desired pressure when the tire is "cold", which seems to mean "when the RV hasn't moved for a while". So I suppose that really means when the tire is at thermal equilibrium with the environment. Well, the environment, here in Michigan, can be above say 90F on...

    Spare Tire Mounted On Top Of Bumper

    I have a cargo rack/bike rack in my camper hitch receiver. Will post that when completed. So I needed to find a place for the spare tire since it would interfere with the cargo rack. I did not want to go with under the camper, on the front as it is heavy enough up front or in the back of the...

    China bomb tires?

    I have heard about China bombs but never a specific make. My son had a blowout on his trailer with Advanta ST205/75 r15 and was wondering if these are the ones? The spare matches the rest so should he try to find the same or go something better for all and use one of the old for the spare...

    Tow Vehicle Tires

    I need to put new tires on our truck. W tow with a 2019 Ram 1500. I think I want something with stiff sidewalls for sway, but don't really want to give up our current good ride. We have Nexen Roadian HTX RH5's. Want an aggressive tread highway tire, or mild AT tire .... not so much as to cause...

    Using chocks/tire psi

    I have chocks on because I park on a slope. I want to check my psi, do I have to remove the chock since it adds pressure to the tires in order to get accurate psi to fill the tires? Thank you

    Tire Management - All new tires

    I've reached 6+ years on my tires so am planning to replace all 6 tires. I'm faced with a $700 decision: buy 5 or 6 tires? I have a 3-year-old spare that has been riding covered on an outside carrier. Do I buy 5 tires, put the spare on the ground and a 6-year-old tire on the carrier as a...

    Tire Valve Extension

    Hello all, I have a question that is not Forest River specific, but pertinent to any RV that had double tires at the back. Over the course of the last 4 years, I have tried many forms of valve extension for the inner tire of my MH, none of which really worked. I’ve had the flexible type, that...

    Rotate tires?

    Does anyone rotate their trailer tires? All 5 Carlisle tires were bought new 3 years ago. The spare still has the paper label on the tread and stays covered. I don’t cover the working tires.

    Tire Inflator

    Just picked this up to inflate my tires. My choice of this unit was because I already had Milwaukee cordless tools so I have the batteries. I recommend this highly if you have Milwaukee cordless tools! Milwaukee M18 Inflator 2848-20 https://a.co/d/bdRd5VA
