tire

So I found this very odd but my 2022 traveler somehow had the entire brake system on one wheel blow apart, i’m so glad the truck was able to detect that. It looks like it was happening for a while because there was actually a flat spot in the tire where this occurred, I assume for a dragging for...

Hello all, I am new to this owners forum so I hope I am in the right place for this post :-). We bought out 2019 BH270 new and it came with Rainier Tires. I have had no problem with them to date but the longest trip we have done since purchasing the tires was 250 miles. It has been...

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...

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...

Singing Praises to Tredit Tire & Wheel in Elkhart, IN for the help and assistance I had with my wheel having a pin hole leak on my 2015 BigHorn RV. They were so helpful and guided me through the warranty process and delivered a replacement wheel within 4 days of contact. Thank you to Deana and...

2 years old. Maybe 3k miles. Kaboom. xxxxx :) $1200 to get some good tires. Ouch!!!!!!

On our most recent trip we had a tire blow out. Luckily almost no damage. Roadside helped up put on the spare and we continued on our way. But a new trip is nearing and I was unsure the best course of action to take to get me back on the road safely. Had the following questions: Do I need to...

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...

The end cap on one of our tires on our Edge came off. Where do I find another one? Anyone know? thanks!

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...

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...

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...

I received an email today from a forum member and Heartland owner asking me for some tips on RV tire maintenance. While I am not qualified or authorized to give any official response, I did offer some informal common-sense advice that should be accurate for the most part. I want to share that...

Under normal circumstance I wouldnt wonder about this question. right now my tire pressure is at 40lbs and the label on the inside of the door read that it should be 55lbs(cold). But since its almost freezing, should I wait till it warms up and redo the reading on the pressure or should I go...

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...

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...

site on web. I know a lot have asked about tires upgrade and size, clearance etc. I believe this will help everyone looking at bigger tires http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

:D WE had a bearing failure on I-85 Southbound just ouside of Anderson SC on Christmas Eve. The folks at Welborn Tire stayed open and waited on us to limp over to their repair facility. They took us in, offered us food and went right to work assessing the damage and repair options. They were not...

Where are the jacking points for tire changing and brake adjustments on the 2010 M22? Owners manual is poor at best. Can I buy a service manual for this unit? Thanks

back in July Tredit tire sent me a new rim and said they would pay for the mounting and dismounting. I sent the old rim back and paper work as requested. I had kind of forgotten about the money feeling luckily I got the rim at no cost. today I got a check from Tredit tire for the tire...

What do you all see for tire temperatuers when running around 60 - 65 mph? Just purchased a tire monitor system and have not even set it up yet. Want to set the high temp alarm however, don't want to go to high or to low. Just wondering what you all see. Thanks, Ted

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...

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...

Should I balance/have to balance my tires? I may have to be heading to a tire store and have this done and possibly buy a warrenty on them.

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 have a sundance 3300sk with 16 inch wheels. Can the spare tire be mounted on the rear bumper? Is the bumper strong enough?

If any of you have these tires you should pay attention to the speed......:D Pirelli is recalling certain Pirelli Pzero Corsa tires, size 285/35 ZR19 (99Y) K1, IP 1778200 (left) and IP 1778300 (right) manufactured between June 2007 and July 2009. Partial tread and/or belt edge separation can...

I have a 3055 with about 15k to 17k miles on it and I am seeing excessive tire wear on the rear axel. The wear is on the inside of one tire and the outside of the other. I measured the differance between the axels from one side to the other and get 1/4 inch in the direction of the wear. Has...

I have been looking for replacements for the 16" E Missions on my Cyclone. 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. Does changing the profile of the tire cause any problems. The tire guy at...

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?

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...

Hi all, Home from our trip with the new to us Big Horn 3400rl. was a good trip except for the blown tire. Question is - on the curb side, there is a wire loom with two doubled wires ending in what appears to be slip connectors. They appear to drop in behind the steps but I have no idea where...

Hello everyone, I have a tire question for my tow vehicle. We have had our BC for about 3 months and took it on its 2nd low milage road trip, about 250 miles round trip. We have a Ford f-250 with BF Goodrich 285/75 R16 tires with a load rating of D. When we returned home we noticed the drivers...

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. If you ever have to replace a tire under warranty make sure you keep the tire(s) because they are going to want to see the tire and inspect it. They paid for...

I'm considering purchasing a tire pressure monitoring system for my BC and TV. Have been looking at the Hopkins system.....is anyone using this system and if so.....what do you think of it??

We have a Bighorn 3385 with 6000 lb axles and E-rated tires. I've recently installed a tpms and yesterday, on our trip home, the "high pressure" alarm went off. We started out in the morning in nice 70 degree weather with 80 psi in trailer tires and truck rear tires. By 3:00 in the afternoon...

Hi, We recently bought a 35QSQB model. When I was checking the tire pressures, I was very surprised to see that tires rated on the sidewall for 110psi cold inflation. I checked the sticker on the rig and it stated max inflation on all 4 tires at 80psi. Can you tell me what should the tires...

I am doing research on replaceing my 16 inch rimmed Goodyear Marathon tires with the Michelin xps ribs. I was wondering if anyone has replaced them. Is there enough room? and are the Marathons "alright"? I have a 2997 bhs sundance with the upgraded axles and 16 inch rims. Thanks Ron

I'm wondering if anyone can offer some thoughts about identifying the root cause of a problem. We have 2008 (bought in 2007) 34 ft Big Country, Bunkhouse 5th wheel, and we love it. We're weekend warriors, and we take 2 - 3 longer distant trips per year. I'm guessing that we probably have about...
