Don't forget to re-torque the lug nuts on new aluminum rims after 50 miles or so, then after 500 or so. The aluminum will flex with heat/cold and can make the lugnuts loose.

@Elizabeth-rq1vi Жыл бұрын

Very important to do! We forgot on our car & about 100km since putting them on we heard a weird noise as we were parking & 4 out of 5 lug nuts were loose.

Not forget to also check your truck lug nuts too. I pulled my trailer 50 miles before I found out the FORD dealer did not tightened any of the 24 lug nuts when they rotated the tires!!

My TST TPMS shows the psi and temperature of all 8 of my tires at the same time. Just in case someone watching doesn’t want to push a button to go between the psi and temp. all the time. It’s nice to have it all on the screen

Well done and easy to understand. I might add that folks using TPMS should get metal valve stems because the TPMS caps can make the rubber stems flex and ultimately crack.

As a woman, I found this fascinating and informative at the same time. I shudder at the thought of the old codger I had to deal with when I needed to replace the tires on my trailer. As soon as he began answering my questions with a condescending attitude, I shut down. Don't treat me like I am some dingbat; my safety and my precious cargo (dogs) are very important factors and if you don't have enough respect to treat me like I have a brain, say goodbye!

Hey Marc, Good stuff! I have preached more times than I can recall that the tires are way more important than all the other features on our trailers! Of course our Goodyear AT tires are way overkill for our Timberleafs. I might look at getting a tire minder too.

Most welcomed topic. Tires. I'm glad you took the time to share this about the cold pressure & when the tires get hot how they expand. I had to learn too. My Father. I just never understood the "A" "B" part of the tire. I used all season, & I did go with a 16" for both '95 Dodge Intrepid & my '82 Chevy Caprice Classic. I went a size larger to have a little more height to straddle some of the dirt roads I had to travel into clients homes to keep from scratching the bottom on a rock. I loved seeing Caleb whizzing by on the skateboard with the American Flag. I so enjoy him. 👍Looking forward to the National Parks in the West. Some really beautiful places out there. Have a good week!😊

On our last trip to Colorado, we had two blowouts in two days, very frustrating and nerve racking. Your comment about practicing at home is so good. It took me almost two hours to change the first tire, just running around the truck and camper to gather up tools, thanks goodness I had them all. The next day, blowout on the other side, it to about 45 minutes, better but still so frustrating!! I didn't know how to check the date code that would have been really good to know before I left on this trip. I found out on the road, when the tire shop showed me how to check that. I definitely would have changed them long before this trip. I bought the camper second hand and the owner had said they changed the tires not to long ago, it had actually been six years. Just wanted to share my experience so other don't run into the same mess. Great video! Thanks Marc!

Excellent episode Marc. You’ve settled the discussion going on in my head regarding ST vs LT tires for our 5th wheel unit. A recent blowout even with the use of the Tire Minder i10 had me wondering about installing truck tires and moving up to 16 inch from 15 inch however, the bolt pattern on our unit does not permit an increase to a 16 inch rim. We’ve chosen the GoodYear Endurance and trust with proper maintenance we should expect excellent service where the rubber meets the road’ You sir’ are definitely the best source for RV related issues and upgrades. All the best. Regards,

@georgederocher8202 Ай бұрын

FYI in thd future, Discount does have 16” in 5 on 4 1/2, and I would assume other 5 lug patterns . I just ordered a set of Vision Soft 8 black for my Casita. I’m switching to LT, and 15” truck tires are getting harder to find .

I just hit the road for travel assignment from NM to CA. Taking my 20 foot travel trailer . I took trailer to Discount tire to check air and they said my tires needed to be replaced! I thought they were fine and never would have thought I needed new ones . It’s a 2019 trailer and had tires replaced with 2018 tire ?? So I got new tires on trailer AND my F150 truck as they said needed tires also! It was almost quitting time and I was leaving next morning for CA. They replaced tires right then and there. Awesome store. Got the Tms system because I’ve been watching your for years. Also got truck and trailer weighed while at truck shop - now need to get truck weight so see what trailers weight. Your videos have been a life saver for me. Am alone and nobody really to teach me - so watch your videos regularly!! Thanks for keeping me educated and safe. Your family is awesome

Absolutely love your content and this video. We have a 27ft Winnebago TT and went with 16 inch rims right away to be able to get into our driveway. The trailer is 5.5 years old and we went with Cooper LT 225 75R 16 Endurance HT3's and love them. American made great ride, and track nicely. Since we just traveled 2,200 miles, I had the tires changed out for the same before the trip, and no problems. Since you recommended it, we had the exact same TPMS but we just got a 2021 F250 Platinum and bought the Ford rear camera and TPMS system so it is now integrated into the truck's system on the dash. It does not do the temperature which we didn't use anyway but it is nice not having another monitor bouncing around on the dash. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!!

Great video. Lots of important information that is well-presented! Many thanks! We're fixing to replace our tires before hitting the road. They are 5 years old now and sat nearly 2 years during the 'Rona outbreak (all our planned destinations had draconian and absurd mask and Vax "mandates" so we passed on the silliness). +100 on Discount Tire. That's where we get all of our trailer, truck and car tires. We park our trailer on pads made from recycled tires and they have helped prevent flat spots and tire decay. Keeps the tires out of the water when it rains, too. They weren't cheap but we're glad we have them! Bob and Dottie
