    Tow vehicle tire wear question

    Hi all. Took my 2019 F350 in for inspection and found that of the four tires, two were in good shape, one was ok, and the last was looking worn. Even that most worn one was fine for driving, so not terrible, but I was surprised. I have 35k on the truck, most of it towing the fiver, and the wear...

    Tire Storage Surface

    We have a 2020 2511S Mini Lite with 4 two year old Goodyear Endurance 205/75R14 tires. They are mounted on Dexter dual axles with a TPS system and properly maintained tire pressure. Great shape for the miles of adventures they have given us. Recently purchased a home in southern Delaware and...

    2024 202RBLE Wheel/tire upgrades

    Has anyone upgraded from the 205/75R15 tires that come on this and likely many other Surveyors, or perhaps stepped up to a 16" wheel (if that unlocked a wider selection?) I know there's some excitement about the Goodyear Endurance tires coming standard on these trailers now but I'd like to...

    Too lazy to rotate truck tires so just bought new ones

    Actually, my wife and I were driving in my truck to my DD's place of work to watch the eclipse with her. She made a comment that the truck was vibrating a lot (and how that made her feel but that is R rated). And it was. The General Grabber tires have been floppy, noisy POS's since I...

    TX member - Looking at Riverstone 443MC for retirement

    Looking at Riverstone 442MC for retirement. Plan to move up from 20-yo TT and 24-yo truck (Will just be too much for the 'ol 7.3. Keeping it though) Will have many questions that I hope the Riverstone crew can help inform me. Not new to RVing, just the new equipment.

    Time for tires

    While working on replacing a fender skirt, I noticed some cracks on our tires. While talking to a local tire shop, when I showed them these pics, the two guys there agreed that new tires are in order, and the sooner the better. So before our first trip this month, it's going in for new skins...

    Reading Tire Pressure Gauge

    Between my husband and myself, one of us thinks this gauge setting says 90 lbs., and the other one of us thinks it says 95 lbs. Who is right?

    Big tire on M2

    Anyone install the optional 385-65-22.5 tires and rims on the front on an XL, DX3 or Europa? I’m thinking it may make for a smoother ride? Do they fit without clearance modifications? I think the DX3 that was built for Heavy D had them.

    Tire load rating

    Time to switch out tires. I was looking at 2 different tires and the load rating on 1 is 3800lbs and the load range on the other is 4000lbs. I have 24bh cherokee artic wolf fifth wheel. Roughly 10000 lbs loaded. Will the difference in load rating be minimal or major when towing?

    Freedom Hauler tires

    Has anyone used Freedom Hauler tires? Have you even heard of them before now? (I never had.) My tire guy suggested them in the load Range D version. The website says they’re made in the USA but since I’ve never heard of them I figured I’d see if anyone here has ever used them.

    Tire depth affect load capacity

    As your TV tire treads wear down, and the depth diminishes, does the load capacity of the tire suffer? I know the traction will eventually go down but didn't know about the other.
