Many useful tips mentioned below will allow you to preserve your trailer tires. Some of the things that you should do include the following:

Get wheel covers for your trailer (the Zento Premium Tire Saver Wheel Protector and the Kohree Tire Covers for RV Wheel Covers are great options).
Use RV protective coverings to protect the tires from UV rays.
Jack up the trailer so the wheels aren’t getting ruined from sitting on the ground for too long.
Keep Your tires properly inflated.

These are some of the best ways that you can preserve trailer tires.

Does Tire Shine prevent dry rot?

is not going to prevent dry rot necessarily. This product only preserves the new look and keeps the tires of your RV looking good. If you want them to keep looking shiny and black, you will want to use Tire Shine at least once a month, if not more.

How can you tell if a tire has dry rot?

If you want to know if your RV tires have developed tire rot, you will want to take notice of the following things:

Brittle tires (the tires will be dried out)
Cracks in the tread (moderate to severe dry rot causing cracks to form on the outer area of the tire tread)
Cracks in the tire’s sidewall
Faded colors in your tire

If you notice these things, your RV tire(s) have dry rot.

How do you know if your trailer tires are bad?

If you are trying to determine whether you need new tires for your RV, some of the signs that your tires are bad and include replacing include the following:

Tread depth is 2/32” or less.
Your tires no longer hold air
If you have put around 12,000 miles on them
Weathering or cracks in the sidewall of your tire

If these things occur in your trailer tires, you should have them replaced.

Should I inflate my trailer tires to max psi?

It would be best to inflate your trailer tires to the max psi, consult your owner’s manual or check the tire’s sidewall. If you don’t increase them to the max psi, you will lose weight capacity for your vehicle and wear your tires out prematurely.

What is the best surface for parking an RV?

You should get a concrete pad if you are looking for the best surface to park your RV. Concrete is the most durable surface, and it’s made to hold more massive machinery and vehicles. If you want a concrete pad on your property, a 6-inch deep concrete pad would be alright.

Do you need to balance RV trailer tires?

RV trailer tires do need to be balanced. If you don’t adjust them, you will feel more vibration when using your trailer. Also, without balancing the tires, the axle bearings will wear out quicker and may even fail. Your tires could also blow out if they haven’t been balanced.

Should trailer tires be balanced?

Yes, your trailer tires should be balanced. Balancing your trailer tires can reduce the chances of blowing out your tires or ruining the axle bearings. The recommended time to have your trailer tires balanced is at least every 3 to 6 years and is generally done after you have your trailer tires replaced.

Now that you know more about How you can protect your RV tires, you can take the necessary action to keep your RV in great shape. You can apply a UV protectant or ozone blocker treatment to your RV tires and place coverings over them when they are not in use. Lift your trailer off the ground when you are not using it, inflate your tires to max psi, prevent dry rot, and balance your tires when needed. If you notice that your RV tires have gone bad, you should have them replaced right away.
