    I am needing to replace my tires on my BH3400RE. Currently the tires are the ST235/80R16 that are late 2015 vintage. I do not know the history and usage of the tires since I recently purchased the trailer and want to start fresh with new tires. I am looking at changing to 85R16's and am curious...

    Tire changing with the Lippert Level Up system and safety

    Let’s discuss using the Lippert Level Up as a means to change a tire and safety practices. Lippert’s hydraulic system is more than capable of lifting and holding a trailer up off the ground, even for extended periods of time. I lifted my empty Cyclone off the ground at a storage lot for 8...

    Bubble in the tire already....

    Hi everyone! I haven't been on a while and I apologize. But I know you all give great advice. We purchased our Heartland Cyclone 3010 back in May 2012... We just noticed a little bubble on the side wall so I know it's going to be time to change. Since I've NEVER had any experience with a RV...

    Why not balance trailer tires???

    My 300C (and several other 5th wheels from other manufacturers that I'm directly aware of) hasn't a single wheel weight to be found anywhere. This leads me to the conclusion that the wheel/tires were not balanced before leaving the factory. Why not? :confused: Yes, I know that nobody is...

    Move Spare Tire Mount

    I own a 2010 31QBS and recently replaced the factory bias-ply tires with Maxxis radials of the same size (205 75 R14). The spare tire is mounted beneath the trailer tongue/A-frame. The radials make the trailer ride a bit lower, resulting in the spare dragging when going over uneven ground. (We...

    Spare tire carrier

    Looking at the spare tire carrier on our Trail Runner, I was wondering if I switched the bracket around so that the tire is under the trailer, if it would hold? With the height of the trailer from the ground there should be no clearence issues. Just wondering if anyone has tried this in the...

    Prefered Method for Tire Changing:

    There was a thread on the RV.net forum relating to alternate methods of raising a tire/wheel in order to exchange a flat tire for the spare tire. One opinion was to use a "bottle" jack and lift the 5th wheel unit, as described in the maintenance manual, at the frame. Another opinion described...

    Tire Pressures, where to fill

    Just wondering where everyone tops up the air pressure in their tires. 110 lbs is a lot and of course necessary for those towing heavy trailers. With most service stations near me you would be lucky to obtain 80lbs out of the air pumps let alone 110. I guess truck stops would be the best bet...

    Since I've never had load range G tires before, I'm wondering what pressure I should carry on my 3600RE. We're full-timers so I imagine we're around 14000#. Of course they are chinese tires and have a max. pressure rating of 110#. We're leaving for Texas a week from today and I want to have the...

    Tire wear

    We took our 2008 Sundance with 11,000 miles into the dealership (General RV in Wayland) because of a severely worn tire. The tire is a driver's side rear which had the inside tread completely worn off. The dealership said this is the result of low inflation but Bill always checks the tire...

    Freestar tire question

    I crawled under the Bighorn today doing a little routine inspection of the axles/suspension/tires. Noticed a little uneven wear on the tires. It only has about 5K miles and the little rubber tips on the outer edge of the tires are not wearing exactly even - no big deal. I have not had any...

I am currently running 235/80/16 I found a tire shop that is selling Michellin XPS rib E load range at a very good price, but they are 235/85/16.

    GAWR Placard Tire Pressue vs Tire Sidewall

    Greetings. Need some clarification as to correct inflation pressure for the Mission tires on our 3250 5ver. The GAWR Placard states the tire pressure as 90 PSI cold while the tire sidewall states "MAX LOAD 3450 LBS at 80 PSI COLD MAX". Which is the correct inflation pressure?

    Difference between axle placard and tire max pressure

    Hello forum members. I have a 2008 BC 3250 that came with Mission "China Bomb" tires. I have put an estimated 5000 miles on the trailer since owned and just discovered what I believe is the beginning of tread separation and inevitably a future blowout. When checking the tire sidewall I...

    It was a long and drawn out process but Tire Co reimbursed me for the full amount that it cost me to replace a set of bad Mission Tires.
