Tiffin Motorhomes: “Wherever you go…we go”

Tire Care

Maintaining the proper tire inflation pressure is the most important thing you can do to maximize the life of

your tires. An under-inflated tire can build up excessive heat that may go beyond the prescribed limits of

endurance of the rubber and the radial cords. Over-inflation will reduce the tire’s footprint on the road,

reducing the traction, braking capacity, and handling of your vehicle. An over-inflated tire will also cause a harsh

ride, uneven tire wear, and will be more susceptible to impact damage.

Keep in mind that the pressure rating on the side wall of your tire is the maximum pressure for that tire. This is

not necessarily the correct pressure for the tires when installed on your vehicle. Maintaining the correct tire

pressure for your vehicle’s loaded weight is extremely important and must be a part of regular vehicle maintenance.

TIRE CARE

1-4

To determine the correct air pressure for your tires, load your motor home as you would normally travel,

including water and fuel. Go to a truck scale as found at most major truck stops and weigh each wheel

position independently, with driver and passenger(s) in the vehicle as described in the

Michelin Recreational

Vehicle Tire Guide

(MWL43146 Rev. 03/12) to determine the correct air pressure for the weight on each

wheel position. Then use the charts in the guide and adjust the pressure accordingly when the tires are cool or

have not been driven for more than one mile. You may call 1-800-847-3435 for a copy of the

Michelin

Recreational Vehicle Tire Guide

, or visit: https://www.michelintruck.com/reference-materials/manuals-

bulletins-and-warranties/load-and-inflation-tables/#/

NOTE: Never reduce the air pressure in a hot tire.

REMEMBER: For control of your RV, it is critical that the tire pressure be the same on both sides of the axle.

Emissions and Fuel Efficiency

Compliance

Your chassis was designed, and built, with components including, but not limited to, low rolling resistance tires

specifically designed and manufactured to exacting standards for regulatory fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas

emissions compliance. The vehicle owner is responsible for being sure these components are replaced with

the same or equivalent components that maintain compliance with federal and local regulations.

For help with determining tires that are the same or equal in regards to rolling resistance for maintaining

compliance with the regulatory standards, please contact Michelin at 1-800-947-3435.
