tire

I guess I just dont get it. Why cant I just buy a truck/suv tire for the Bighorn ? As long as it can handle the wieght "e" rating etc it should be good to go. I've got some Michellin on my truck and they have been through h-ll. They were cheaper than the XPS ribs. Please tell me were I'm going...

Just discovered our spare tire valve stem was installed wrong on our 07 3400RL. The steel rim has a large hole for the valve, but a smaller diameter stem (car type) was installed by the factory. Result was a bad seal at the rim and lateral pressure on the stem caused air to escape. Simple...

Just wanted to remind everyone to check your tire pressures. Just because they look OK doesn't mean they are. I just checked all four of mine (they looked fine). Everyone of them was low by at least 5 pounds and one was 12 pounds low.

I talked to NTB about getting metal stems installed. The only thing they had was stems where the part that connects to the wheel is rubber that is pulled through the hole like a normal stem but has what looks like a brass end on it where the sensor would be screwed on. I tried to explain that...

Gang: I am also on a Yahoo Winnebago Owners group, and there were reports there of Goodyear tires being much less vulnerable to weather cracks. In fact, one owner reported changing their Goodyears after 8 years just as a precaution, the tire dealer inspecting the tires (with 60K miles on...

Is there a way to install metal valve stems and retain the original pressure sensors in a 2009 CTD drw?

Question I have ordered LT 235/75/R16G tires on my 3055 Bighorn. Have to shop for a new compressor before I pick the Bighorn up at the end of the month. What is the Pressure stamped on the side of the tire? Thanks

Okay I have spent the last 3 days washing the roof, washing the outside walls,cleaning the interior,vaccum the basement.flushing the freesh water tank, waxing the whole outside, waxing the rims. We are going to take off next weekend for 10 days. The rig looks better than new.The only problem is...

I have a Bighorn 3670 on order. After following some of the stories about the tires supplied with the Bighorn models, I am seriously considering upgrading my order to include the Goodyear tires that come on the Landmark models. I am being quoted $550 by my dealer for the upgrade. Is this high...

To date I have towed with the prescribed 55 front and 80 rear but would like to hear discussion of other PSI's if there is any. I have the stock tires that come with the 2007 GMC Classic.

What (if any) "E" rated tires are recommended for a BH 3670. We just purchased a 2007 (used) model and it has the Kenda Karriers on it. Two of the tires look to have "decent" tread, while the other two look like the camper has been pulled with the brakes locked up (all the way around). We have...

Hey folks, I was really hoping I'd never have to make a post like this, but...... Heading from St. Augustine FL to our next job at the Ocala National Forest, we got onto one of those old expansion joint roads. Slowed down to 45. After about 30 minutes noticed some black debris coming from under...

Please tell me if you experience with: X-Chock Tire Locking Chock from BAL. Also can you compare these to BAL's deluxe wheel chocks?

I have a Bighorn 2925RK, and the spare tire is located under the rear part of the trailer. Their are two pieces of angle-iron holding up the spare. Just looking at them, they seem to dip some from either the weight of the spare, or just from going over bumps in the road. I am planning to put...

I want to go from a 235 / 80R 16 tire to a 235 / 85R 16 tire on our 3055RL. Has anyone done this, and were there any issues with clearance. I understand that the "85R" is about an inch taller than the "80R".

I decided to check the tire pressure on my new truck last night. I usually do this on my vehicles every couple of weeks, and the morning on any road trip travel day. Front tires were obviously easy. Back tires, OMG. :confused: I think I need to get a new guage, because this one didn't seem very...

Tow Max Tires Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with the "Tow Max" trailer tire from Les Schwab tires? In particular, the ST235/80R - 16 , Load rating "E". Any input, as always, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really struggling with making a decision on whether or not to buy new tires. I currently have Freestars FS574 G load, got a price today for GY 614's @ $295 mounted and balanced, plus $50 for trade in on each of my Freestars since they are new.Of coarse you hear horror stories on ''chinese...

Is there a recommended method of rotating the tires? Do you keep them on the same side, just switch positions of do you ever cross them over to the other side?

I had a problem with the axle spacing between my tires on my last trip. Driver's side rear axle had seemed to "slip" towards the front and the tires were actually rubbing together when I would hit a bump - when parked the space between the tires was barely enough to put your finger through...

Question about who warranties the tires and valve stems? My BC is in the shop for some warranty repairs and I was inform by the Service Manager at Camping World that Heartland will not warranty the valve stems that need to be replaced due them leaking. He stated I would have to go through the...

I have just ordered a new Bighorn 3600RL. What brand of tire is currently being installed on this model? From the updated specs on Heartland's website, it appears they may have switched to a different tire than used previously. Possibly the same as the Landmark?

We have a 2008 3012RE that we tow with a 2007 2500HD Duramax. We are very happy with this setup but are now concerned with the 16" Missions on the 6,000 lb. axles. I have read all the good imfo on ST vs. LT tires and yet the consensus seems to be for michelin RIBs which are LT tires . My...

When originally looking at our new 3055RL Bighorn, we noticed several flat spots on the doorside front tire. No other tires had any of these flat spots. We listed this on the PDI and they replaced the tire. After arriving home from the dealer (about 75 miles), I noticed another flat spot at...

Has anyone else heard about the huge recall on tire valve stems made in China. Seems the valves are cracking and tires are blowing out. When is our Gov. going to do something about this junk from China?:mad: I wonder where our valve stems on our RV's came from.:eek:

Hey gang, A new NT owners here, nanaearth needs your help. On their way home from a camping trip, around the corner from home, they had a blow-out :( They need some guidance on doing a proper tire change. The one blows is door side front. Specifically, they need: - Lug size so they can buy...

We have a cracked aluminum tire rim. I think I read last year on the forum of others having that problem. Tomorrow I am going to call Heartland Customer Service to see what they suggest. We are now in Ishpeming, MI (near Marquette) and no Heartland dealer within 150 miles. If you had this...

Returning from trip to Florida last July experienced a blowout with the original Trail America tires on the 2006 Bighorn 3655. I estimate the tires had about 6K miles on them. Jetstar Trailer Tire & Wheel replaced all five "G" rated tires and repaired left side damage. The tires Jetstar...

If I had a tool to release the cable holding up spare I have lost it. Does Heartland sell a tool that reaches in and releases the spare tire? I would like to purchase this tool.

Hi folks- I'm the proud new owner of a North Trail 21 FBS. I noticed that it is equipped with bias -ply tires. All previous trailers I've had used radial tires. Makes me wonder why why Heartland chose these tires. Better? Cheaper? Any thoughts? Thanks
