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.

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

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,

Great video. I love Discount Tire and have been a customer for over 30 years. Another important factor that you mentioned is the speed rating of the tires. Most ST class tires used to have a max speed rating of only 65 mph years ago, and I experienced multiple tread separations on 2 sets of trailer tires because I was always towing them at 70-80 mph. This was with both Goodyear Marathon and the earlier versions of Carlisle tires. A rep from Carlisle believed the constant high speed was what caused them to fail. Carlisle now makes the newer Radial Trail HD, which in my tire size of 235/80 R16 has a speed rating of 75 mph and a max load capacity of 3,520 lbs per tire which x4 is within my trailers GVWR. I am now on my second set of these and have had zero problems with them, but also limit my speeds to 70-75 mph now. The Goodyear Endurance does have a higher speed rating of 87 mph, but has a lower max load rating of 3,420 lbs per tire which is just below my GVWR. Plus the Carlisle is about $35 cheaper per tire!

Great video as always... When I bought my new 2019 camper it came with load range c which is a 6 ply tire in 2019. Doing the appropriate math and it should have come with load range E 10 ply tire. I ended up going with load range F, a 12 ply tire. First set lasted 27k miles and I changed them out at year 4 with the exact same set, could have gone further but I do that 4 year rule with trailer tires. Sold the old set to a guy for a horse trailer that he doesn't use for hauling horses but for his carpentry business. I advised him of the miles and the years, after he saw the 1 inch side walls, he bought them. Transeagles on Amazon are outstanding tires. I also put a 14ply on my 18 flat bed trailer. Absolutely LOVE THEM. Definitely do the math on what you are actually supposed to be using on your trailer. Also, Discount tire is amazing. I have taken these Transeagles to them and they mount them for me, even let me buy the road hazard for them. Don't forget to re-torque them.

Dude your so right.. I called my local Discount Tire store and they were immensely helpful. The guy on the phone was able to order 2 sets of 6 tires so that when i go in i am able to choose between stock tires size and the tire size on my truck now, not knowing which is right for the rim. I always say the hardest things to learn are the things you don't know you don't know. The thing i didn't know is that if you have tires that are too small or big width wise the do whats called ballooning which compromises the payload integrity. That guy might have just saved me from a blowout.

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!!!

Marc, It is also a good idea to have the tires & rims balanced before mounting on RV......note many RV's do NOT come from the factory with balanced tires. Balancing the tires will help with overall ride and provide uniform wear. Additionally, you should torque the lug nuts in multiple levels (eg: 40 psi, then 75 psi, then 100 psig) when mounting the wheels to provide uniform "stretch" on lugnuts/wheel studs. Thanks for providing important tire information.....Be well & travel safely!

We had a 2006 Weekend Warrior 40ft Toyhauler that had tri-axles. THE FIRST THING I DID was to swamp out the crappy 15" rims and tires to Eagle Allow wheels and Michelin XPS Ribs (a LT tire). The first set had 12 years before they started cracking on the sidewalls, so I replaced them and after the next 6 years when I sold the coach they still looked brand new. The best part is I never had to worry about them- in fact, there might have been 2 or 3 times over those 18 years I actually had to add some air to them! Last year we bought a 2023 Grand Designs Reflection 320MKS (because we had sold all the toys and wanted to downsize, and it came with Goodyear Endurance ST tires. I really don't think there is any such thing as a good ST tire. I have seen way tooo many blowouts that took half of the trailer walls with them. To me, tires are the biggest thing you can do to add extra insurance to your ride.

I would suggest going up a load range next time if you are experiencing multiple blow outs. Trailers used to be sold with bare minimum rated tires. The additional buffer of a higher load range will make a difference in that case. While not required, do you really wanna be driving down the road with 7 to 20 tons running on the minimum with no margin of error?

So many videos and even “experts” say to inflate ST trailer tires to the max cold PSI shown on the tire. I have Goodyear Endurance tires, and Goodyear publishes a chart for PSI / LOAD. I contacted Goodyear directly; they said to use their PSI / LOAD chart. For my dual axle TT fully loaded and weighed at a CAT scale, 35-40 PSI is the recommended cold pressure. 65 PSI is the max cold pressure shown on the tire. Big difference!! When I confronted an “expert” he responded by saying that Goodyear was the exception. Why not say that upfront? People will inflate Goodyear Endurance tires to max cold PSI based on watching an “expert” video.

In the hot south (Texas, etc.), we run our trailer tires about 10% under max cold during the summer months. On my last trip, I ran my 128psi load range H tires on 8k axles at 112psi cold. Running down the highway at 100 to105 degrees, I was at 129psi when I got to my destination. Ask the guys in west Texas at the tire stores along I-20 and they will tell you they make a decent living replacing RV tires during the summer months. They say run 80psi tires at 72psi and you wont have any issues. In the winter time, back to cold pressure. Of course, you need to watch the profile of the tire and make sure it isn't squatting but if it is, you are probably overloaded and nothing much can help with that.

Great information on tires. The only thing that I think you should have mentioned is about having your tires balanced when they're mounted. I noticed that you were having this done on the video, but balancing trailer tires is not something everyone does. They should, but they don't because most trailer manufacturers do not balance them prior to putting them on their units. I don't understand why. After buying my first trailer, one of the first things I've done on the two I have purchased since is take it in to have the tires balanced. Tires last longer, and I think the toughing is just a hair smoother. Just my opinion. Love your guys' channel!

If you run the palm of your hand across the face of the tire in one direction and then in the other you should feel the same in both directions. If one direction feels sharp then you have an indication that something is wrong in the alignment of your wheels.

When using the metal x chocks, a good tip is to have an orange nylon strip from an old tie down tchd to the handles running out on the ground. This is so you can see that they are still on and not tear up your tires when pulling out of a campground. We have seen way to many people try to drive off with chocks and or x chocks still on the trailer.

Helpful video with some good information. Something worth considering, I tend to get closer to max cold pressure and I also go up a load range from oem. Last blowout I had resulted in replacement of 2 tires because the other cracked as it took all the weight while I pulled to the side. It means rougher ride (tires are not great shocks) but more security to allow a short run on 1 tire while I pull over rather than 2 blowouts at once dropping the whole side of the trailer. Neither is necessary but piece of mind for me. I do use the tpms to check temps and pressures as you said however without it I NEVER would have known I picked up a nail mid trip until the tire blew or I stopped hours later...there is a benefit other than lazyness to them😉. What TPMS don't do is tell you if one comes off. Sometimes they won't update for 30min and still display the last known pressure sadly. I wish you could find a tpms that had a shorter stale timer or alerted when they didn't update in X attempts. None I have found show last update timeframe. While they beep for blow outs so far I have heard them and been slowing and pulling over before they beep.

Great video, couple things I’d add. - TPMS, don’t use it unless you swapped the rubber stems to metal. I’ve had two stems leaking air on a 4K miles round trip this summer before figuring out the sensors are too heavy for rubber. I learned how to change a tire on the side of the road in 95f weather. Not fun. - My 2021 AS trailer came with GY Endurance ST, not Michelin LT. The Michelin site refers to the Agilis CC as LT so I’m a bit confused. Did you change GY ST tire for Michelin LT tire? Because I thought in the video you made the point that ST is superior to LT when it comes to RVs.

Great episode Mark. If you are a member of the Airstream Club they have a discount program thru Michelin. Saved 85.00 a tire.

After much due diligence we replaced the tires on our 2011 classic (9000 lb) with nearly the exact same tire wheel combo. - we got the commercial version which has a little higher weight rating and is directional. We run 65 psi as per the AS factory recommendation - after 12000 miles tread wear looks perfect. Great minds think alike. Btw. You are most likely to have a failure on the passenger side because that’s where the road debris - and curbs - are. So our directional spare is mounted for curb side use. In the event it needed to replace a driver side blowout word is it would make immeasurably small difference. So not to worry.

You should check if the height of the trailer tongue changed, you may need to change your hitch setup to compensate.

Aluminum wheels are notorious for expansion and contraction . Three words to keep in mind torque, torque, torque. In the rodeo and roping world I have witnessed many sheared lug bolts ,lost wheels,and damaged axles do to loose lugs on aluminum wheels.

We’ve been using Michelin XPS Rib LT225 /75 R16 115Q E1 on our 2004 30’ Classic. Got ours from Discount Tire too.
