Tire covers/rethink??
This is just a simple observation that I noticed. I suppose you could call it passive scientific observation. We park our 3400 next to a cement retaining wall. The north side tires get no direct sunlight. The south side tires get alot of sunlight. I was checking the tire pressures today in advance of our first trip and noticed alot of cracking/checking along the sidewall especially where it meets the tread. This was only on the south side tires. The north side tires looked brand new. This is a 2007 unit so I would have to say that sunlight does alot of damage in a short time. I was never a believer in tire covers, but I am going to get some now. You can say what you want, but seeing is believing.
edit: The north side tires where still at 80psi in the shade but the south side tires where at 76psi in the sun. Go figure???? Loss of pressure somewhere for some reason.
