Many off-road tire products that are designed for use on a recreational vehicle will feature increased tread depth and puncture resistance. If you often drive down bumpy roads and dirt pathways when taking your RV on camping trips, investing in a new set of RV tires will provide you with the grip resistance and durability you may need.

Past Issues And The Tire Age

Consider how you have utilized your RV thus far. Have there been occasions when your vehicle's tires got bogged down in the mud or have you ever incurred a blowout that was directly tied to the uneven terrain that you drove across? Having standard tires on your vehicle will not equip you with the safety or confidence needed to drive off-road. In fact, relying upon a standard set of tires that are designated for use on paved roadways could potentially hinder your ability to visit camping areas that are not located along a direct route.

The age of your tires may indicate that it is time to purchase a new set of radials. If you are going to be switching up how you camp from time to time, you may want to purchase off-road tires and equip your vehicle with them during inclement weather or when you will be visiting a campsite that will require you to drive along bumpy roadways.

The off-road tires can be switched out with the roadway ones, whenever you are going to be driving your RV along paved roadways. An auto technician will balance your tires and inspect the tread on them each time you are going to switch out the tires.

Tire Selection

An automotive technician will assess your recreational vehicle, to determine which type of radials will be best suited for it. If you have a tow-behind RV camper, the tire sizing variables may be different than if you have a drivable RV that won't require the use of a tow bar. Some off-road tires are better suited for muddy conditions than others. Let the auto technician assisting you know about your driving patterns and any variables that you have encountered during a previous camping trip that required you to drive your RV.

An auto mechanic will check the tire pressure on the new set of tires that you purchase. If you do not know how to check the tire pressure or inflate a set of tires, it is a good idea to ask the mechanic for some simple pointers about completing these tasks.
