I have decided to put a complete set of Towmaxx tires on my RV. My RV is a 2008, 3400 RL with a weight of approximately 12,000 lbs, and the tires seem to have come as original equipment, thus about 5 years old. To my way of thinking tires should, like any other equipment, be maintained and inspected on a routine basis. However, this seems to not have been the case with mine. Today when I took off one of the tires, which had no noticeable defects, I spun the tire and noticed significant sidewall imperfections.* Had I done this two weeks ago, tire problems while travelling could have been avoided.* If, every year or two I took the time to jack up the wheels and at least spin them for a visual inspection, maybe failure could have been totally avoided. Maybe it is not necessarily the type/brand of tire you use but the maintenance thereof. Possibly replacement should be an ongoing part of owner maintenance, versus waiting for a failure. Just sayin……………
