🚐 RV Tip of the Day: Check Your Tire Age, Not Just the Tread! 🛞
Many RV owners look at tire tread and assume their tires are still good. The truth is that RV tires often age out before they wear out.
☀️ Sun exposure, weather, and long periods of sitting can cause tires to dry rot and weaken over time.
A good rule of thumb: Have your tires inspected regularly and pay close attention once they reach 3-5 years old, even if they still look like they have plenty of tread.
📍You can find the tire’s age by checking the DOT number on the sidewall. The last four digits show the week and year the tire was manufactured.
Taking a few minutes to check your tires can help prevent a blowout and keep your family safe on the road.
