PLEASE CHECK YOUR TIRES!!!

Fellow RVérs, This morning I read another motorhome accident story resulting from a blow out. This is merely a friendly reminder for all of us to check our tire condition and DATE CODE. The date code is the DOT numbers on the sidewall; the last four numbers represent the date that the tires were manufactured and the start date of the tire warranty. ie, DOTXXXXXXXXXX1311. That means the 13th week in 2011. If the tires are more than five years old it is my OPINION they need to be replaced. Please realize the importance of your tires. Safe travels.
Tommy
