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.
Very important to do! We forgot on our car & about 100km since putting them on we heard a weird noise as we were parking & 4 out of 5 lug nuts were loose.
Let’s give Marky Mark a little credit… he’s not gonna forget about that.
Yes retorque!!! very important on the wear pattern you set in the first 1,000 miles!!
Not forget to also check your truck lug nuts too. I pulled my trailer 50 miles before I found out the FORD dealer did not tightened any of the 24 lug nuts when they rotated the tires!!
We all should be checking lug nuts often if not every trip
We truly appreciate all that you go through to share your experiences with us!
Marc’s enthusiasm and teaching style always convinces me I can learn anything. I don’t even own an RV, but I’m ready to join in if the subject of tyres ever comes up in conversation
Oh I love Sunday Evening!!!
Glad to see these kind of videos return.
Awesome job Marc. This episode is going to help so many people understand towable tire issues.
This video is so helpful. On back to back trips we have blown out a tire. Learning a lot with this video. Y’all rock!
Happy Sunday yall. Love yall 3000!
Love discount tire so much. I have been dealing with them for a number of years now. Their prices are hard to beat and their customer service is amazing. Nice to see that you have had a similar experience.
I like to support the local yokel tire shop. You may get a better price at the big boxers but I’d rather help the small business man.
I freaking love the detailed RV discussions like this.
So glad you made this video. Tires are probably the most important part of safe towing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Wow, this video is pure gold. There’s no telling how much money and heartache it will save for viewers. 💯
You and Trish always bring great value to your videos.
Thanks for your video! As usual, you did an outstanding job going over & explaining these important topics! We love our Tire Minder TPMS system.
Excellent vlog. Perfect timing for me as by coincidence I ordered 4 new tires for my 28’ travel trailer thru Discount Tire. Getting ready for a 6 week 7k road trip from FL to CA with special emphasis in UT. Thank you for such clear and valuable information.
On our fifth wheel we had the Goodyear endurance and had zero issues with it. Good tire!
Couldn't have been better timing as I'm new to owning an RV (bought it used) and was thinking about replacing the tires as they are approaching 5 years old. This was a very helpful discussion and answered some questions I had. Thanks so much.
I went with 16" wheels and Michelin LT tires a few years ago, I really like them!
Mark, you always make the most boring issues interesting in these videos. Great editing.
Perfect timing for us with this video. Thanks.
When we had our 30’ AS FC I also upgraded to 16” LT’s and really appreciated the additional clearance provided by the 16” rims. Good info. Thx.
My TST TPMS shows the psi and temperature of all 8 of my tires at the same time. Just in case someone watching doesn’t want to push a button to go between the psi and temp. all the time. It’s nice to have it all on the screen
Great video. My husband and I had a mobile tire business and he would come to the customer to install tires and wheels. He really knew his stuff. You made everything about tires very understandable. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the next couple of months. Sounds like you're coming out west which is very exciting to think you'll be in my neighborhood. Safe travels!
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched. Thank you!
After seeing Long Long Honeymoon's video for doing this on their YT channel in early 2021, we upgraded to 16" wheels and tires (same as yours) on our TT. Best peace of mind I had for our travels and no regrets. Great to see more folks "preaching" this truth out there and making the move to it. Keep up the great work and videos!
Mark is in the zone, nerding out about RV details! As always quality content.
Thank you Marc for all the great information. I will be passing this along to my hubby. Can't wait to see the new season. Hope you guys have an awesome season !!! We are in Moab right now enjoying the national parks. It is our first time here and it is beautiful!
As a woman, I found this fascinating and informative at the same time. I shudder at the thought of the old codger I had to deal with when I needed to replace the tires on my trailer. As soon as he began answering my questions with a condescending attitude, I shut down. Don't treat me like I am some dingbat; my safety and my precious cargo (dogs) are very important factors and if you don't have enough respect to treat me like I have a brain, say goodbye!
Great video again, great information and covering tires when not in use will extend the life. Thanks again for sharing such great information and videos. Safe travels.
As always. Thanks for the adventures along with your trials and tribulations.
Thanks so much! You answered all my questions regarding a tire and wheel upgrade for my camper!
Thank you!! We were just talking about getting new tires and rims for our trailer and this info was perfect. 💕
Such necessary information for all RVers.!
The wheels look so good!
Thanks for all the tire information! ❤️
What a Goodyear you had!!!😀
Excellent video on RV tire selection and maintenance. Very clear and concise. Thank you.
I really enjoyed your video. I worked in a tire shop and went through training with Goodyear,Michelin,and Continental and we put both types of tires on pull trailers but we made sure what the Load range was and made sure we used the right rating . Tires rate from C which is on most cars up to G which is a good heavy stiff sidewall tire. Great info
Hey Marc, Good stuff! I have preached more times than I can recall that the tires are way more important than all the other features on our trailers! Of course our Goodyear AT tires are way overkill for our Timberleafs. I might look at getting a tire minder too.
Most welcomed topic. Tires. I'm glad you took the time to share this about the cold pressure & when the tires get hot how they expand. I had to learn too. My Father. I just never understood the "A" "B" part of the tire. I used all season, & I did go with a 16" for both '95 Dodge Intrepid & my '82 Chevy Caprice Classic. I went a size larger to have a little more height to straddle some of the dirt roads I had to travel into clients homes to keep from scratching the bottom on a rock. I loved seeing Caleb whizzing by on the skateboard with the American Flag. I so enjoy him. 👍Looking forward to the National Parks in the West. Some really beautiful places out there. Have a good week!😊
We moved from California to Florida recently and our 5 o'clock routine has turned into an 8 o'clock routine. It could be worse but it's still just a enjoyable.
Thanks
Excellent information Mark. Safe travels
Thanks for sharing, my wife and I are getting ready to go to the Keys. We currently live in NJ so I know tires are so important to check. Thanks for the reminder!
I've wanted to get a scale to weigh each wheel tire individually. I have used truck tires for years but a few years ago I bought a stacker trailer that had the Goodyear Endurance tires and I became a believer !
Excellent video Marc. Very informative and thorough. Informatioin that all travelers should know. Been watching you and your family since you began youtube. Never disappointed. Have grown to love your wonderful family. You guys brighten my day. Thanks!
Like previously mentioned, we learned after a blowout that we needed metal valve stems for our tpms sensors. Last trip our system alerted to a slow leaking tire. Found it had a screw in it & Discount Tire fixed it for us.
Great info thanks
Excellent video with a great discussion on ST vs LT and the max psi and payload. Love our TPMS Tireminder system.
Yes, this episode is super helpful.
I’ve had two blow-outs while towing the travel trailer, once on a rear truck tire, and once on a trailer tire.
As an over-the-road trucker, I’ve had blow-outs on trailer tires, and tractor tires. It is never pretty.
Thanks for all the solid information and recommendations.
Thanks, also, for the link to the TPMS. I gotta get one of those.
Let’s Go!
Great video Mark!!! Was timely for my current situation.... Perfect! Thanks man!!
Great informative video Marc. Thanks for sharing and safe travels
Well Marc we made the plunge to the LT with 16” wheels as you did….the tires and wheels look great on our 25 ft FlyingCloud! Thank you so much for giving us good details to make our decision.😀❤️
Have these very same tires on our b van, they are awesome, gives excellent coverage in a rain storm, in curves and in loose gravel. Have 27,000 miles on them since 2021, got them with a dot date of 2022.
Great video on TV tires and I can't wait to see what you have in store coming up for the next few months!
Great information Marc! Thank you!
Great information . Thank you.
Hi Marc…thanks for all the information in this episode. I followed your lead and got the 16” Agils Tires and rims from Discount Tire. Great service and great tires. One less thing to worry about. Again, thanks!
So helpful appreciate your help in understanding one of the most important parts of owning an rv
Great job Marc! Very informative.
So incredibly helpful, thank you Mark!
Thanks for the great information. Dont forget to re-measure the height of your trailer after switching tires and or rims to different brands or a larger size rim. Probably wont change or matter that much especially with a airstream but better to know than to guess at the last second.
Love the technical videos
Thanks for all the good info on tires us newbies need all we can learn
Great episode. Very informative.
On our last trip to Colorado, we had two blowouts in two days, very frustrating and nerve racking. Your comment about practicing at home is so good. It took me almost two hours to change the first tire, just running around the truck and camper to gather up tools, thanks goodness I had them all. The next day, blowout on the other side, it to about 45 minutes, better but still so frustrating!!
I didn't know how to check the date code that would have been really good to know before I left on this trip. I found out on the road, when the tire shop showed me how to check that. I definitely would have changed them long before this trip.
I bought the camper second hand and the owner had said they changed the tires not to long ago, it had actually been six years. Just wanted to share my experience so other don't run into the same mess.
Great video! Thanks Marc!
Great video. Lots of important information that is well-presented! Many thanks! We're fixing to replace our tires before hitting the road. They are 5 years old now and sat nearly 2 years during the 'Rona outbreak (all our planned destinations had draconian and absurd mask and Vax "mandates" so we passed on the silliness). +100 on Discount Tire. That's where we get all of our trailer, truck and car tires. We park our trailer on pads made from recycled tires and they have helped prevent flat spots and tire decay. Keeps the tires out of the water when it rains, too. They weren't cheap but we're glad we have them!

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.
Absolutely love your content and this video. We have a 27ft Winnebago TT and went with 16 inch rims right away to be able to get into our driveway. The trailer is 5.5 years old and we went with Cooper LT 225 75R 16 Endurance HT3's and love them. American made great ride, and track nicely. 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!!!
We had load range f tires on our 10k lb camper and I immediately changed them to a load range g before we used them,drove from pa to disney and back with no issues
We got our new Globetrotter this weekend, after having a Bambi. We noticed the tires on the new trailer were 'wonky' for lack of a better word. Kind of at angles to each other. Freaked us out. Then, at 9 minutes in, you just eased our mind to know that was normal. Thanks!!
Great video and information Marc thanks for sharing.
Watched and re-watched this one, thank you for the insights.
Great episode, we just replace 2 tires this past week.
MARC This was great. I thought I knew all about tires but I learned more. and Tires are very very important. Also Discount Tires in Tucson SAVED us b/c they really knew what our problem was. they also sent us to the motor weighing place. You are right on. Thanks again. Charley from Ocala
Great Video Mark good information for anyone who tow’s Period.
Thanks
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
The tires and wheels look fabulous!
Great video and great advice
Great advice
Marc, very good video. You were spot on with your tire info. Also good to know Caleb likes the smell of tire air.
Great info, really appreciate it.
Love the new wheels. They go with the Airstream perfectly.
Oh my! We just did the same thing, almost. I replaced and upgraded from 15" to 16" wheels on our 5th wheel 7 years ago so I could easily get LT tires for it. I just replaced those Michelins with the exact ones you got. We were getting ready for a big trip. First leg of that trip had a tire issue with the truck. Had to get all new tires on the truck too. I got 51k out of mine on a Ram 2500. Safe travels.
nearly turned this off so many times, but my practical information side took over. I am sure I learned something today that will be useful someday.
Great information taught me a lot thank you. Those wheels look fantastic excellent choice I’m impressed can’t wait till next week
Your videos are amazing and always very informative! Thanks so much!
Great information! Thank you so much 😊
you cvered evry thing great imformation yall have a great week!
Great tire info.
Great info. Thank you!
Excellent information in this video!
I buy all my tires from Discount Tire. Great service, quality tires (Goodyear Endurance for me), caring employees. Great informative video!
Great information Marvc
Thank you for sharing that very detailed information.
Noob here and found exactly what I was looking for in an informational vid all about tires. Thanks!
Thank you. Your videos always help
Well done and easy to understand. I might add that folks using TPMS should get metal valve stems because the TPMS caps can make the rubber stems flex and ultimately crack.
Thank you
I switched over to the Michelin 16 LT on my Airstream back in the spring and love them so far. Check that torque several times. I found some of my lug bolts backing off. Been running 70 PSI on my 28ft Signature.
Why 16”?
Good video. Thank you.
