Deb and Ed M,
So do we check our tires before leaving and with infared gauge when we stop in a rest area etc as it's a very first indicator of tire problems happening in the very near future. Also alarms if the sun side tires are getting to hot for comfort and prompts us to slow down as speed builds/increases tire heating. Way too late after tire failure happens and often will ruin parts of the RV with the following expensive repairs. Not to mention a change of underwear immediately even if you don't pile up. Also check all truck tires too!
The OP wouldn't know if we are checking tire or just looking at them or walking past them.
