Trailer Tires

Like any other vehicle, travel trailer tire out. If this happens while driving on the road, it can be disastrous. Therefore, it is important to inspect tires before each trip. Here are three things you should check on a regular basis.

Check the age of tires
Each tire has the week and year of manufacture stamped on the sidewall. If the tire was made before 2000, the number is three digits. If the tire was made after 2000, the number is four digits.

Since a tire before 2000 must be changed immediately, we do not worry about the stamp to four digits. The first two digits represent the week the tire was made. For example, 01 means the tire was made the first week of the year (the first week of January), while 51 means the tire was made the 51st week of the year or the day after the last week of December.

The next two digits represent the year the tire was made. It is a standard format. For example, 01 means it was made in 2001 and 10, it was made in 2010.

RV tires are designed to last six years. Hence, a tire of six years or more must be changed because of the high probability that it will burst.

Check the tread
Even if the tire is less than six years, you should check the tread. A good rule is to go buy the thing broke. Stick up a penny in the tread. If you can see Lincoln's head, then you must change the tires. If you do not see the head, the tires are fine.

Check tire pressure
You can find the proper tire pressure by reading the manual. Otherwise, the tire air pressure is also written on the sidewall. He recommended PSI to say ... Once you know the appropriate pressure, tire checks are simple.
