Campman,
Am I correct to think the cold PSI is what I should go by to add air or not, once in the morning before driving? Do you max out your tire PSI when pulling the camper loaded with water, etc? Thanks |

An excellent choice, upgrading your tires. If I may add a few things that you can do to take care of your tires to get the most life out of them.
Balance them, just like your vehicle tires. Consider a TPMS system to live monitor your tire pressures and temperatures. We use a WASP TPMS system that I have enough sensors that screw onto the valves on our 2 192 tires as well as our F150's 4 tires. Every am when travelling I go around,tap all 6 sensors and get my cold tire pressures. You would need to set the temps and pressure alarms according to your particular needs, but once done it is easy. Rhey can also help indicate if you have a hot brake or hot bearings as the heat can transfer to the tires and be indicated while you are driving. Good luck, Andy |

I just went through the whole, tire replacement drama this spring. Finally settled on Falken Wildpeak AT3 LT tires. They are 10ply and with 65psi, they have greater load capacity than the Westlakes at 50psi, that were stock on our 2017 179 HR Edition. So far so good with about 6K miles on them. I've checked running temps at various times this summer and they have never been above 122 F.
Good luck. |

Any recommendations for tire brand/model for 2014 R Pod 171, Hood River Edition?
LT 235 75 R15 All Terrain currently on the camper, we like to boondock sometimes, using forest service or BLM dirt roads to access sites; no gnarly roads though--thanks! |
