Tires are likely the most critical safety items on our coaches that we have control of. Yet, some don't place enough emphasis on maintaining their tires.

Overweight or under inflation are the number one causes for premature tire failure. Do you know the wheel position weight of your tires? If you don't you can't really determine what the minimum air pressure for your tires should be. The tires that share an axle should be inflated to the same pressure. The minimum pressure for all tires on a given axle will be set to the weight of the heaviest side of the axle.

Our tires are speed rated for 75mph and everyone should be driving at less than 75mph. If you exceed 75mph your tires may fail. The failure will likely be due to insufficient pressure for the speed. Here's an interesting article on speed and truck tires (CLICK HERE)

For those that haven't experienced a rapid air loss in a tire, there's a natural fear of a front tire blowout. This video may put your fears to rest (CLICK HERE for Video).
