Great question Scott! I'm not a tire expert and I have Michelin tires on my RV. Michelin on there website has a tire quality care section. And in that section it says to have wood or rubber or
plastic between your tire and the surface. It also says when your storing your RV indoors to use cardboard between the tire and the surface. The website also says to make sure whatever your putting on the ground make sure that the complete tire surface must be covered (if you use for example a piece of 2x4 it will only be covering 4" of the tires 6" to 8" surface and inner sidewall damage could occur according to Michelin. I use a 2 foot long piece of Doug Fir 2x10 under each tire, whenever my coach is parked regardless if it's sitting at home on gravel or in Arizona sitting on concrete, or any other surface when RVing. It's my belief this helps me to get longer tire life.
