RV Tire Failures - How Sun Damage & Flat Spots Dangerously Affect RV Tires
Old RV tires are an accident just waiting to happen. Head out on the freeway and in short order your trip is ruined because a seemingly good tire explods without warning.
Many RVs spend most of their life parked. Long periods of storage under direct sunlight can lead to damage that you can't even see.
Another problem associated with long term storage is flat spotting. Wondering what that rumbling noise is as you head out? Your tires have become less than round from sitting in one spot too long.
To prevent RV tire damage, cover your tires during storage to keep the sun's rays at bay and make sure your tires are properly inflated to prevent flat spotting. It's a good idea to take your RV for a ride every month to keep the tires in good shape too.
