I'm trashing my 1.5 year old Road King Blow-Max's (three of four have blistered up or blown out, and I'm installing 4 new Goodyear G614's on my 5'er tomorrow. I'm fulltiming right now, on concrete pad. Don't plan on moving for a year or more. These new tires can be inflated to a max 100psi. How much pressure should I put in these tires while parked, so as to maintain good condition.Also, I've always wondered............we cover our RV tires with vinyl covers for UV protection like they're blonde-headed infants, but I've NEVER EVER seen covers on tires mounted on cars, trucks, boats trailers, motorcycles, etc. What's up with that? And yes....I park my truck in the same place every day so the truck tires see the same amount of sun as my 5er does! :h

Actually it's 110lbs. I would contact GY Tech Support.

Personally I would not install new tires until your ready to move it. Why let good (new) tires sit a year before use. Makes no good sense to me.

I too would not replace the tires until I was approaching the time I would be moving. It is recommended to replace tires after only 6-7 years due to age. Too expensive to be losing over 15% of your tire life setting out the first year or more.I never cover my 5er tires. 6 yrs on them (XPS Ribs) and no sign of weather cracking.

Good points........I'll chain them to the axle and store them underneath. If I do need to move unexpected, I'll just be one day delayed getting these mounted on the rims.

The tires *wear out* long before they would *age out*.
