We are now full-timers and have been so for a year. We got shut down by COVID right after selling our house in Abilene and hitting the road. We used the time to get a new rig - our 2020 Big Horn 32GK! Made some friends and learned some things as well. We've been in Spring Branch TX for nearly a...

Oh wow. Thank you for checking that out. That is much better than I was figuring. I had just about decided I'd better replace the tires soon with some of the new Goodyears. Mark&Sandy

Above when I gave the width of  my tires, I listed the width as 175... Oops. Couldn't read my own writing. Width is 75. Mark&Sandy

Okay. Thanks very much, Rene. I'll look into this. Mark&Sandy

I forgot to ask about this a minute ago. Is this monitoring system something wired into my truck from the trailer, like the back-up camera? Mark&Sandy 

      I asked for info and thoughts on this topic and have gotten a fair amount to think about, thanks to all of you. Today we went to the dealer to look at our trailer's certification label (thanks Fast Eagle) and to get specific info regarding the present tires, load ratings, etc., as...

Good article, thanks. I will look for ST tires, given the reasoning for using them and also that there would be less tendency for sway. Mark&Sandy

Okay, thanks. We need to research the tire outlets around here. Mark&Sandy

Thank you! I will try and check out the best places to place a jack on my rig this weekend. Mark&Sandy

That makes sense. I was pricing the Goodyear tires online that QZ mentioned and will probably go with those when the time comes. As for the dealer, I was thinking about the possibility of them putting the tires on. Can a regular tire place do that or will I most likely have to do it? Mark & Sandy

Thanks for the link. Do trailer dealers put tires on, as a rule? Mark&Sandy  

Okay, thanks everyone! I made notes and will take them with us when we go either to get the trailer this weekend or at least get the information you all suggested from the trailer certification label and the tires themselves. I will probably post again on this thread Saturday or Sunday with what...

    I've read and seen on YouTube that new tires (those purchased with a new RV) are generally unreliable. Being a rookie, I don't know "First hand" if this is true or not. YOu folks, however, have experience behind you. We just bought ours the end of July and haven't put many miles on it yet...

So we need to be careful and we should be alright. Thanks. Mark&Sandy
