    I have a 2019 Flagstaff 26FKBS. It has 2 Torx Dexter Axles. After 3,000 miles the rear passenger tire outside tread wore down to the danger point.

    Before I go to fabricating on the original bumper mount spare tire carrying on my 273QBXL does anyone have any info on a mount that sits the spare tire higher up? I have a cargo tray and the spare tire is sitting right on it.

    Tire Failure

    Replacement tire

    Hello, I have a damaged tire on my 2014 Wildcatmaxx, it is a Freestar m108 22575r15 load range D the product code 29885009. I can't seem to get one to match. All I can find is a Freestar m108+ which is load range E. Is it okay to mix it with the other ones that are D range. Thanks for your help.

    Rear axle tires run hotter than front - normal?

    On our new Micro Lite it came with the TST TMPS system. It shows the tires on the rear axle running about 10 degrees hotter than the front axle tires. Seems weird to me but you RVers with more experience would know. First TT with TPMS.

    Anyone else notice that the stock Westlake offroad tires that come on the Geo Pro 19FD have one tire going in one direction and the other tire going in opposite direction? Is this a install mistake?

    Arctic Wolf "Tire Sensors"

    We just bought a 2022 Artic Wolf 3660 Suite and our tires have the tire "sensors" on the valve stem and are green. Is there a monitor I can connect these so as we're traveling I can see the tire pressures in real time rather than simply checking when we stop for gas and whatnot? We have the...

    Tires

    Tires on the bus have 80,000 KLM or 50,000 miles. Chassis is 2017. Don't see any wear or cracking. They hold air without issue. Should I be concerned about replacing them. Planning a cross country trip that could add another 10-15000 klm some of it on gravel road. Should I look at replacing...

    All, I'm curious about this, because I've seen several trucks pulling campers with wide tires on the truck. I've seen it with trucks towing TTs and Fivers. Is this inherently dangerous, or completely ok? I'm just wondering if the sidewalls are strong enough. I have NO desire to do it. I'm...

    Tire Blowout - Front Driver Side

    We had a tire explosively blowout yesterday north of Philly on 295 east going 55 MPH in the right lane. Like a gunshot 5 feet away loud. It made a hole in the sidewall. There was no veering or hard to control motions of the FR3 - it sort of settled down a little lower on the left and I just...

    Unusual tire wear

    My 2017 Vibe Extreme Lite is showing some disturbing tire wear. The tires in the photo are about 2 years old (don't have a mileage estimate) but not a ton of miles on them. (NOTE: the P.S. and D.S. are different models and that's why the treads are different. We had a blow out of the originals...

    Anyone know if Forest River (or their suppliers) balances the tires that go on new trailers? (travel trailers specifically; I know motorized RVs would need / have them balanced). I don't recall seeing weights on the wheels, now that I think about it. And I can't look at the moment, as I...
