Don't forget to re-torque the lug nuts on new aluminum rims after 50 miles or so, then after 500 or so. The aluminum will flex with heat/cold and can make the lugnuts loose.

Dude your so right.. I called my local Discount Tire store and they were immensely helpful. The guy on the phone was able to order 2 sets of 6 tires so that when i go in i am able to choose between stock tires size and the tire size on my truck now, not knowing which is right for the rim. I always say the hardest things to learn are the things you don't know you don't know. The thing i didn't know is that if you have tires that are too small or big width wise the do whats called ballooning which compromises the payload integrity. That guy might have just saved me from a blowout.

Marc, It is also a good idea to have the tires & rims balanced before mounting on RV......note many RV's do NOT come from the factory with balanced tires. Balancing the tires will help with overall ride and provide uniform wear. Additionally, you should torque the lug nuts in multiple levels (eg: 40 psi, then 75 psi, then 100 psig) when mounting the wheels to provide uniform "stretch" on lugnuts/wheel studs. Thanks for providing important tire information.....Be well & travel safely!

I would suggest going up a load range next time if you are experiencing multiple blow outs. Trailers used to be sold with bare minimum rated tires. The additional buffer of a higher load range will make a difference in that case. While not required, do you really wanna be driving down the road with 7 to 20 tons running on the minimum with no margin of error?

So many videos and even “experts” say to inflate ST trailer tires to the max cold PSI shown on the tire. I have Goodyear Endurance tires, and Goodyear publishes a chart for PSI / LOAD. I contacted Goodyear directly; they said to use their PSI / LOAD chart. For my dual axle TT fully loaded and weighed at a CAT scale, 35-40 PSI is the recommended cold pressure. 65 PSI is the max cold pressure shown on the tire. Big difference!! When I confronted an “expert” he responded by saying that Goodyear was the exception. Why not say that upfront? People will inflate Goodyear Endurance tires to max cold PSI based on watching an “expert” video.

In the hot south (Texas, etc.), we run our trailer tires about 10% under max cold during the summer months. On my last trip, I ran my 128psi load range H tires on 8k axles at 112psi cold. Running down the highway at 100 to105 degrees, I was at 129psi when I got to my destination. Ask the guys in west Texas at the tire stores along I-20 and they will tell you they make a decent living replacing RV tires during the summer months. They say run 80psi tires at 72psi and you wont have any issues. In the winter time, back to cold pressure. Of course, you need to watch the profile of the tire and make sure it isn't squatting but if it is, you are probably overloaded and nothing much can help with that.

Helpful video with some good information. Something worth considering, I tend to get closer to max cold pressure and I also go up a load range from oem. Last blowout I had resulted in replacement of 2 tires because the other cracked as it took all the weight while I pulled to the side. It means rougher ride (tires are not great shocks) but more security to allow a short run on 1 tire while I pull over rather than 2 blowouts at once dropping the whole side of the trailer. Neither is necessary but piece of mind for me. I do use the tpms to check temps and pressures as you said however without it I NEVER would have known I picked up a nail mid trip until the tire blew or I stopped hours later...there is a benefit other than lazyness to them😉. What TPMS don't do is tell you if one comes off. Sometimes they won't update for 30min and still display the last known pressure sadly. I wish you could find a tpms that had a shorter stale timer or alerted when they didn't update in X attempts. None I have found show last update timeframe. While they beep for blow outs so far I have heard them and been slowing and pulling over before they beep.

After much due diligence we replaced the tires on our 2011 classic (9000 lb) with nearly the exact same tire wheel combo. - we got the commercial version which has a little higher weight rating and is directional. We run 65 psi as per the AS factory recommendation - after 12000 miles tread wear looks perfect. Great minds think alike. Btw. You are most likely to have a failure on the passenger side because that’s where the road debris - and curbs - are. So our directional spare is mounted for curb side use. In the event it needed to replace a driver side blowout word is it would make immeasurably small difference. So not to worry.

You missed a critical benefit of a TPMS. - Early warning of a failure that has just occurred. We've had a puncture occur, were immediately notified as the tire was deflating, and were able to immediately pull over. On a dual axle trailer, you may not be aware of a flat until the failed tire shreds, or eventually overheats the other tire on that side until it ALSO fails. Because of the early detection, we just plugged the hole, re-inflated, and drove to the nearest tire shop for a permanent fix. We solved the problem in ~20 minutes, and no tire needed to be replaced.

All 4 tires will run at the same temperature, give or take a few degrees. When 1 tire starts climbing in temperature, it's best to pull over ASAP and inspect. That tire is starting to fail. Replace it and don't keep driving on it. It can come apart and damage the tire in front or behind.

so in your example how would one tire be significantly higher in pressure? Perhaps if you had an axle out of alignement or an axle nut loosenig up creating a scrubbing action on a tire you could increase temp...ergo pressure. Generally monitoring pressure reflects a tire that is loosing pressure relative to the other tires. Just sayn

Excellent episode Marc. You’ve settled the discussion going on in my head regarding ST vs LT tires for our 5th wheel unit. A recent blowout even with the use of the Tire Minder i10 had me wondering about installing truck tires and moving up to 16 inch from 15 inch however, the bolt pattern on our unit does not permit an increase to a 16 inch rim. We’ve chosen the GoodYear Endurance and trust with proper maintenance we should expect excellent service where the rubber meets the road’ You sir’ are definitely the best source for RV related issues and upgrades.

Great video here with excellent info. Took my trailer(fully loaded for travel) on a CAT scale and have 6800 lbs on the trailer axles, so brought my pressure down from the sticker suggestion of 80psi to 55. This still allows for a greater than 20% buffer in case the 6800 pounds is not distributed equally. Gives a much better ride and tosses stuff around way less. (225 75 15 E rated ST tires) Now I have to decide if I should replace them with a set of Goodyear ST tires of the same size, or perhaps move to a Michelin XL tire in the 235 75 15 size which will easily handle my load. I am fine with the 15" wheels so in my case, I don't see any need to go a size bigger there when I have four perfectly good wheels. Thus very keen to hear your follow up on performance with the new tires. As always safe travels,

I’ve had two stems leaking air on a 4K miles round trip this summer before figuring out the sensors are too heavy for rubber. I learned how to change a tire on the side of the road in 95f weather. Not fun. - My 2021 AS trailer came with GY Endurance ST, not Michelin LT. The Michelin site refers to the Agilis CC as LT so I’m a bit confused. Did you change GY ST tire for Michelin LT tire? Because I thought in the video you made the point that ST is superior to LT when it comes to RVs.

The reasoning when asked is because I have purchased tires that were not originally on the truck or RV by the manufacturer and those badges/stickers indicated what was OEM tirres, which made sense to me. So watching your video I am back to the age old question of whether to follow RV or Truck sticker/badge or the tires. Discount Tires stated they warranty tires with PSI used by tire recommendation on the tire. Please advise.

Hey Marc, great video. New to RVing and storing trailer at a storage facility in Georgetown, TX😃. Should I leave my TPMS sensors on my tires while storing my camper? Just thought about thievery, and didn’t know if people left them on or not.

Good information. Your video is very informative and appreciated. We are about to get our first gooseneck trailer. I drive for a living and know how important tire maintenance is. Hopefully one day we will meet up on the road. Our call name is Mo and Glo. It will be two years and 10 months before we full-time until then we will be making periodic trips. Sincerely Mariano and Gloria..

Fun fact- I just learned my 2022 didn’t come with the correct spare wheel. Found out alongside the road 😑

As a woman, I found this fascinating and informative at the same time. I shudder at the thought of the old codger I had to deal with when I needed to replace the tires on my trailer. As soon as he began answering my questions with a condescending attitude, I shut down. Don't treat me like I am some dingbat; my safety and my precious cargo (dogs) are very important factors and if you don't have enough respect to treat me like I have a brain, say goodbye!

I switched over to the Michelin 16 LT on my Airstream back in the spring and love them so far. Check that torque several times. I found some of my lug bolts backing off. Been running 70 PSI on my 28ft Signature.

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around running my RV tires (tandem axle unit - 6800lb combined axle weight on the CAT scale) as low as 35 psi (from the table) while I have been running them at 72 psi cold for the last seven years. I will inflate to a higher pressure 50 psi ?) as I know the tires are not equally loaded and it seems better to run them over inflated than under inflated. Will need new tires on the TV - a F250 diesel and looking for a recommendation.

Never, never lift your trailer using the axle if you have Dexter axles. This is information directly provided to me by the Dexter company.

Last year I put Michelins all around on the truck. They inflated them to the door tag. I contacted Michelin for a tire pressure chart: they don’t have one. Now with the truck fully loaded plus tongue weight, the tires don’t look right. I had to give them scale weight and they finally gave me new inflation numbers on chat. Now I just put Carlisle on the trailer. Same problem. I contact Carlisle and they say inflate to recommended psi on tire which is 80psi which is too high in my opinion for the weights on the axle loaded. So what is the mystery with these folks ? They all seem more confused than you or I about tire pressures under loads. ????? What gives.

Just purchased a 2022 27’ FC & it came with ST tires, not LT. Perhaps a recent change by Airstream?

Good video and well thought out. I do disagree about tire pressures however - here in flyover county we have some righteous potholes. while i try to steer clear, occasionally we'll hit one. I want my tires to have as much pressure as they can take to not become damaged. Good idea about the spare trailer tire - we purchased a new one also. Also last year i found out my F250 has a temporary tire/wheel. I got a new wheel and tire. I didn't want to be towing on a temp spare.

Have you been running your TPMS on metal or rubber valve stems. I’ve heard a couple of people say don’t use an external TPMS on a rubber valve stem because it can cause the stem to fail. This seems rare though. What has your experience been?

All this is great info. But the reality is any tire can blow out. Trailers are vulnerable to damage from a blowout. Look at RV-De-Fender

Guidelines for setting the tpms system. Nothing in instructions of high low and temperature guide. Truck tires 34, trailer 60. What is too high, too low, too hot?
