Tire Pressures

Two groups of RVers.....The guys who CLAIM they check their tire pressure daily! Or, the other group...I always check mine at the beginning of the summer season before we leave home! I seldom see the first group here in our RV Resort, so I guess most are in the second group .

Tire pressure is like a religion with me. I check the pressures before we leave an RV park in the morning. Results....2 blow outs and 1 tread separation on GY G159 Load Range G tires. Tires were maintained at 110psi cold. Probably overloaded, and maybe getting old. Last blowout was in June 06 on a 2000 Avion. AND I had a GY G159 245/70R 19.5 on my International blowout, which was a front tire. Just checked for pressure 1 hour prior to blowout. I replaced the GYs on the truck with Michelin XZR, inflated to 100 psi. I keep the ES tires at 125, and even check them periodically while sitting here at the RV Resort.
