tires

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...

Hi everyone I need a little expert advice please! I live FT in my 2011 Greystone 33QB for almost 3 years now. I travel once a year but am about to buy a 3/4 or 1 ton so that I can travel more or evacuate myself if need be (Galveston County, TX). I'm about to buy new tires for my camper and so...

Hello all. I have a pioneer BH250 travel trailer with 205 75R14 tires and just got in the mail 15" tires by mistake. Can I use them or do i need to go back to 14s? Thank you. Chris

Heartland Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain 2018 Heartland Sundance XLT TT travel trailers. The vehicles may have been incorrectly equipped with Load Range C tires instead of Load Range D tires. Overloading the tires may result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Heartland...

I know tires have been discussed at length in previous posts and I've read most all of them, but did not see an answer to the question I have below. Forgive me for being ignorant in this matter as I am no expert. I am upgrading the tires for my 5th wheel. I have decided on the Sailun S637...

Has anyone replaced their 16" wheels & tires on triple axle trailer? What did you go to? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Asking as over the past two years I have had 4 tires go bad on my 2015 Cyclone 4200; one blowout & three had ply separations (air loss). Several tire/wheel &...

Here is a tire recall announcement. It says that the tire company will contact owners BUT in some/many cases the RV company / dealer may not have provided you, the owner, with the form to complete and mail in so there is no way for the tire company to notify you. =================== Please...

We have a 2013 BigHorn 3670RL. Sticker says ST235/80/R16E, 80 psi for tires. We've already had the TowMax's blow. They're gone. So I want to be a little proactive. We normally take two long seasonal trips back and forth from Texas to Ohio, anywhere from 1500 to 2000 miles depending on the...

Hi Folks, thanks in advance for the help. I am making a run to San Antonio Texas from Iowa to pick up a 2007 Cyclone 4012. Sorry I just couldn't swallow the pill for a new one. I will be picking it up on Monday Feb 13. It looks like they come with a tire that is "maybe a little suspect" and a...

I'm new to 5th wheeling and recently bought a Bighorn 5th wheel with a 6 point Levelup Lippert lift system. I read in the owners manual that I should move my RV at least every 3 mo to prevent flat spotting of the tires. Since my storage lot was snowy and muddy in spots I decided to use the lift...

We bought our (slightly used) 2011 Road Warrior 385RW about a month ago. We started researching tires and there are about as many recommendations as there are opinions and it is hard to sift so many. I'm sure ya'll are sick of the same ?, but I'll try to be more specific for OUR situation to...

Looking at a new 2015 4200 that's still sitting on the lot. It has the Towmax tires and they are quoting me $1512 to upgrade to Gs (says this is what the factory says it costs to swap them). Does this seem reasonable for cost? I assume this means they'll be putting the sailuns on it... or am I...

Does anyone have experience with the Greenball Towmaster SS ST235/85R16 F rated 12 ply tire specifically, or with Greenball in general?  Looking to replace the Blomax tires and leaning towards the Sailun, but came across these at COSTCO locally for a good price.  I'll pay more if these are trash...

Four made in America Goodyear G614 RST LT235/85R16 tires and wheels. Load range G (3750 pounds at 110 PSI), tires have approximately 10,000 miles on them, tread depth is 9/32 inch (new tires are 12/32 inch), metal valve stems, date code is 3909. One of the tires is worn on the side due to faulty...

I'm looking to get a set of tires with good traction and decent tread life. I'm hauling a 2015 Cyclone 3110 loaded with 2 bikes in the garage. Any recommendations, travelling from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, this winter to Arizona. Also has anyone lowered the top bed the garage to make it...

I have been getting advice on my tire underinflation in another thread, but hrte, I'd like a reality check on expectations for a new trailer. 2014 NT Caliber 30RKDD purchased 3/31/2014. I later discover it was built 3/13/2013. So on the lot a year: Here's the list after spending about 20 days in...

I recently took delivery of a 2014 Caliber North Trail 30RKDD. I discovered a sticker on the storage door saying it was built in Feb 2013. That means it sat outside for over a year. Never waxed, don't know if the tires ever rolled anywhere. Roof not treated. And, of course, a lot of rust...

The more I’ve read RV forums about tires blowing, and too many times within 6 months of purchase, I'm becoming more convinced these tires were damaged by the commercial RV towing professional. But if that is true, then he or she is not performing the job professionally. Amy and I were...

Well it's that time again (WooooHoooo!) to de-winterize the BH. New tires this morning and the china bombs are gone. Towed it with the new TV to the tire shop this morning and everything was great. Now I have to get everything up and going, check for leaks, install the new fender, treat the...

We are looking at a BH 3570rs. Upgrading to G614 during build is no cheaper than getting them installed by a tire company a few months down the road. We thought about using the Chinese bombs until we have about 4000 miles on the unit. Since I've never pulled anything this long I can bump the...

Mark Polk of RV Education 101 wrote this excellent article: Trailer Towing – ST Tires vs. LT Tires

In recent months while I was researching for the best information about tire care for my website, I discovered a blog written by tire expert Roger Marble. We have had more than a few conversations. I encourage you to read some of his thought provoking posts. Below are some his post links that I...

Does anyone use Nitrogen instead of air for their trailer tires? If so, how does it perform?

Last fall, my wife commented, after following me home from camping, that the left rear tire on our 2011 BH seemed to wobble a little and be tilted inward at the top. Yesterday was such a nice day that I jacked the BH up, took the tire and wheel off expecting to find a either a bent rim or a...

Hi: Does anyone have any additional information regarding the wheel (rims) recall for the 2011 Sundance 3100ES? We bought one in October 2010 and have had it in storage ever since. We did get a notice in the mail about the possibility that some models may have had the wrong rims put on -...

We have a 2011 Big Country 3250TS. It has Towmax STR Power King tires. They are wearing unevenly. The right front tire is showing extra wear on the outside tread. All other tires appear to be wearing evenly. Trailer has approx. 5,000 miles. Any ideas? Thanks.

I was at Hillcrest Ford in Huntsville, Texas the other day getting some service work done. In the service waiting area was this tire chart on the wall. I took a picture of it with my cellphone as it had much information on it and answered alot of questions I see posted on this forum all the...

So, pulling my 2011 31QBS past a stump last night and found an old aluminum gutter nail hidden in the dirt near the base of the stump.:mad: Great. So, with all the talk about china bombs from the 5ver guys, should I replace just the two with similar quality/construction (ST 205/75 D14 Load...

:confused:Hope someone can help. We are on the road, and of course one of the China bombs blew. Trying to replace with Goodyear G614, or Michelin XP. My question is trailer has ST 235/80R16. Has anyone gone to the LTS 235/85R16? How much of a difference between the 80 and the 85, Camping...

I am placing this in this form because it is the closest one to the subject. Tires and suspension. I have some information for those that have Mor/Ryde IS installed on their trailer. The other day my Pressure Pro (thank you pressure pro) alerted me to a low left rear tire on the trailer. I...

There is a lot of cross-over on tire and wheel discussions between Heartland brands. And while it may have made some sense to allow each brand to have its own Tire forum, we felt it best to combine all Tire forums into a single Tire and Wheel forum. This way, all readers gain the benefit of...

It is getting time to buy tires for my BH 3370. I have been reviewing all of the brands and types and keep coming back to the Michelin XPS LT 235/85/R16 E and the Goodyear G614's. I would like to hear from anybody and everybody on this matter because it is one of the most important saftey...

Has anyone replaced their factory installed Sundance Mission ST235/80R16 tires with the Michelin XPS RIBS LT235/85R16 E's? The Michelins are approximately 1/2" larger in diameter bringing the tires closer together. Have you any issue with the two tires rubbing against each other? Thanks and...

I am starting to look for replacement tires for my 08 F350 srw. The truck had Continentals from the factory (gone in 30k miles). I am currently running Goodyear Wrangler AT/S 275/65r20 and are wearing out just as fast. Does anybody have any experience with the Michelin LTX AT2 tires, they do not...

In the fall of 2009 Heartland replaced my axles with longer ones due to the shocks rubbing on the tires. They also replaced two tires and shocks. My trailer was built in May of 2008, in June the factory started using axles a half inch wider. With steel wheels the tires don't rub with the...

I have been reading a lot lately in the owners club, as a new Big Country owner, 2011. After reading the forum it appears there has been a lot of trouble with tires. BUT hopefully there a lot of owners out there that had good luck with there tires. I remember lots of name brand tires that had...

I will have my rig on a concrete pad at the campground for three months. I have read the concrete is not suppose to be good for tires over an extended period of time. Had thought about placing some plywood under the tires for protection however, I have read that you should only use treated...

Howdy all… Just a little background… I’m looking to purchase a BH 3670RL this spring to live in full time. For the most part, it won’t be gong anywhere unless I don’t like where I’m living, it's in for repairs, I change jobs, or something like that. I have some newbie questions that I’m...

I have a 2005 Chev extended cab 2500 HD Duramax and will be towing a 3055RL bighorn. I will need new tires by the spring and was wondering what the rest of you use. Mine are stock size Bridgestones on there now. Anybody running Michelin LTX? Rick

Hello, I noticed some time back (months) that all 4 tires on my F-350 have cracks about 1 inch from the wheels, running all the way around the tire. Are these dangerous? The tires ar BF Goodrich Rugged Trail t/a, built 40/04, installed June/05. They have 40,000 miles, about 12,000 to 15,000...
