Every RV enthusiast should have tire safety uppermost in their minds before traveling this summer. RV tires are subject to a multitude of conditions that passenger vehicle tires normally do not encounter. During the hot summer months of driving, RV tires are used at or near their maximum loads and while parked, RV tires are unused for long periods of time and this downtime can also affect their condition and longevity. The American consumer must rely on the honesty and integrity of tire manufacturers and distributors where the quality and safety of their RV tires is concerned. Unfortunately, defective RV tires are responsible for many accidents, injuries and deaths in the United States every year. A defective or failed RV tire can lead to instant loss of control of your RV and serious injuries for you and your passengers.

Defective RV Tires

RV tire defects are more likely to lead to tire failures and serious accidents as these defects push the limits of safe usage of RV tires downward. RV tires are more susceptible to failure because they endure heavier loads, diverse road conditions and sit idle for long periods of time between road trips.

Follow these safety guidelines to get the best performance from your RV tires:
