RV Tire Rotation
Judy,
This is not good advice. It is not a good idea to run two tires of a different rating on the same axle and particularly not on the steering axle. There are a number of reasons but the two main ones are that the load rating makes a difference in what the proper inflation of the tire is. But it is unsafe to iflate tires on the same axle to different pressures, so that creates a serious delima. If you have any doubts, the Goodyear web site has a list of things to check for safe operation of the RV before each trip. Notice the second item on the list.
quote:VISUAL INSPECTIONS - What to look for.
Proper tire size and load range for Gross Axle Weight Rating (available in the vehicle owner's manual or on the door placard)
Mismatched sizes or types (bias/radial, rib/lug, load range)
Road hazard or extensive curb damage in the tread or sidewall area
Wear conditions - alignment, loose or worn parts
Signs of overloaded or underinflated operation
Discoloration or waviness in sidewalls from high running temperatures
Distortion or bulging in the bead area near rim flange
Rapid tread wear on a specific wheel position or axle
Severe sidewall weather cracking
Tire age (can be determined from DOT manufacture date on the tire sidewall)
Storage in direct sunlight or near electrical motor/generator
Chemical damage from petroleum products (sponginess)
Flat-spotting (brake skid)
Condition of spare tire
Acceptable dual spacing
Loose lug nuts or broken wheel studs
Rim width correct for tire size
Assess vehicle for accessories/configuration that could contribute to weight bias/overload and adjust loading or inflation pressure accordingly
