  • Spare Tire Covers Needed For RV Tires Of Various Sizes
  • We offer several different color and size spare tire covers that can be used on RVs. We do not offer screen printing, but you can purchase the covers and find a local screen printer that should be able to take care of that for you.

  • How Old is Too Old for Trailer Tires and When Do They Need Replaced
  • The average lifespan of a trailer tire is anywhere from three to five years based on several factors. That said, if you have cracks in the sidewall then that means the tire needs replaced as it increases the chance for a blowout. The cracks are caused by weather so if you want to prevent them in the future, use some tire covers while the trailer is not in use. In regards to the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10234, you could use the Adco Ultra Tyre Gard RV Tire Covers...

  • How To Determine Correct Spare Tire Cover Size For RV
  • You can use the numbers you find on your tire to find the correct size cover. I have attached a couple helpful articles that you can check out. One article actually has a chart that has the overall diameter listed. For example, if your tire is a 205/75-14, like part # TTWA14RWS, the overall diameter is 26.14 inches. A cover like the one you referenced, part # 052963762402 would work well for that size.

  • Estimated Life Expectancy of Westlake WE76FR 235/80-16 Trailer Tires
  • Due to the long list of variables that can affect the lifespan of a trailer tire, Lionshead who manufactures the Westlake tires couldn't provide a mileage number. They tell me that the average life expectancy of a trailer tire is between 3 and 5 years, which I'd certainly agree with. Trailer tires will typically tend to dry rot and crack before the tread wears down. The best way to maximize the life of your tires is to: • Keep tires inflated to psi listed on tire sidewall • Don't exceed...

  • Will Tire Pressure and Temperature Increase a Lot When Driving Long Distances With 225/75-15 Tire
  • The psi and temperature are going to change based on the tire and the temperature outside for your ST225/75R15 tire like the Westlake # LHWL304. So it is not surprising at all that the psi climbed based on your long trip as well as the significant rise in ambient temperature, as that is completely normal. The 112 degrees your tires were is absolutely safe and normal, as tire pressure monitoring systems don't signal alerts until they are much hotter, such as the 158 degrees of the TST...

  • Using the Adco Spare Tire Cover on Boat Trailer
  • The Adco Spare Tire Cover, # 290-1739 being submerged in water is nothing to worry about. I would just ensure there is no trapped water at the low point being held inside the cover. Back in with it on if you choose to, at the end of the day simply ensure it is not trapping water.

  • Does Warranty on Trailer Tires Cover Property Damage and Bodily Injury
  • The Limited 2-year warranty on trailer tire # AM10235 covers the tire construction, workmanship. But if it fails because something is wrong with the tire the warranty would not cover damage or harm caused to you, the vehicle or others. Your insurance company would be the one to call on that. It would be hard to determine if a blowout was caused by workmanship or materials or an act of God, nail in the road, excessive heat and so on. It sounds like you may have some experience with trailer...

  • When to Replace Trailer Tires Due to Age and Deterioration
  • Trailer tires should be replaced no less than every 6 years no matter how little mileage they have on them. Tires will deteriorate at a faster rate if they are exposed to the elements, especially UV radiation from the sun. Temperature extremes also speed up deterioration. You can refer to the two linked articles for more information on trailer tires. You can inspect your tires for any signs of cracks or rot, especially at the sidewalls which carry the trailer weight. If you see any signs...

  • Does Adco Storage Cover 290-74843 Keep Rain Out on Sides of Trailer
  • Trailer storage covers, including the Adco Polypropylene Storage Lot RV Cover for Travel Trailer # 290-74843 aren't totally waterproof on the sides to completely keep moisture and rain off the trailer because it needs to be breathable. This way, wind can vent through to help keep the cover in place, and the small amount of moisture inside the cover will be able to escape so there isn't mold or mildew. The Adco Polypropylene Storage Lot RV Cover for Travel Trailer # 290-74843 is for travel...

  • Tire Date Code and Methods to Protect Lifespan of Trailer Tires
  • The vast majority of trailer tires are made overseas. This means that almost any tire you buy will be about 6-months old at minimum. From the date of manufacture the tire will be stored for some period of time, then be loaded into a shipping container. It will then spend about 2 months in transit on the ocean/going through customs and then be stored in a warehousing facility here in the states. Trailer tires should be changed, regardless of wear or mileage, no less than every six years....

  • Will The Display For the TST TPMS Kit Show Tire Pressure and Temperature While Driving?
  • The TST TPMS for RVs # TST-507-RV-4-C in normal operation will scroll through each tire one by one and display the information on that specific tire for 5-6 seconds. You can still manually scroll by using the + and - buttons and it will display the tire information for 10 seconds before resuming to cycle again. When you have an alert you will hear an audible alarm and the tire with the issue will begin to flash with the tire information displayed on the screen. You will be able to pause...

  • Trailer Tire Age and Methods to Prolong Tire Life
  • Trailer tires made overseas are usually at least 6 months old by the time they are fabricated, shipped via ocean container ship to a distributor here in the USA and reach our temperature-controlled warehouse. It is safe to say that you will not find us shipping a tire much "younger" than 6 months old. It is also likely that the very oldest a tire would be when we ship it, meaning a tire that is not among the most common and popular sizes that we ship every day, is about 2 years. I went...
