More and more people are entering into the retired life moving from their home into Motor Homes and RV Trailers without knowing that they may have a time bomb riding on their axles!
Not all tires are the same. Tire blowouts that cause rollover accidents do happen, even with New tires that are not rated for the driving conditions, underinflated, or on an overloaded vehicle. Sadly many of these accidents end in death and a total loss of the vehicle. |

Tire manufacturers rate tire utility based on vehicle use, weight, and operating temperatures. A tire rated for use in Alaska, Maine, or Minnesota would be more likely to blowout in Arizona in the summertime where the temperatures can go as high as 130° F in the shade.
An underinflated tire can cause excess stress on the other tires and reduce stopping distance and safe handling of the vehicle during emergencey maneuvers. Add high speeds, vehicle weight, road surface temperatures and you have a prescription for a fatal rollover accident! |

Do the math! Plan your next major trip and tally up the estimated mileage. Next take the current price for fuel times your miles per gallon. Now reduce your fuel mileage by 3-5% that an underinflated tire can cause, and this is just the added cost in wasted fuel.
While fuel lost does not sound like much, there is another downside to this equation, a tire blowout! Now you are faced with either an emergency tow to a tire shop, or the cost of emergency roadside service. This could cost over $700 in some cases. Most Motor Homes and RV Trailers involved in rollover accidents become a total loss. |
