I now am parking my class a rv in a enclosed rv garage with no back door and concrete floors.My question, is it better to park on the bare floor or use plywoods pads below the tires? thank you.

ggrotz,
Well Sir, this topic's been talked over on here and other RV forums for eons of time. IS there a better or "best" way to preserve, protect, extend life, and or get the most out of RV tires by parking them on any particular surface? Well, in all real world reality, probably not. First, there's a zillion of RVs out there that have been parked on regular old concrete for years and years and, folks are still driving on the same tires.

Second, take two RVs, the model year, the same make and model, the same weight, the same mileage and the same user scenarios and, park one on concrete and the other on wood (or any other surface of choice) and, providing no blowouts, no flats, nothing that would otherwise shorten or degrade the regular life span of any of the tires, and at the end of the so-called 7 year expected life (according to the gurus of the RV and RV tire industries), just which set of tires is:

1. Going to ride better
2. Going to look better
3. Going to be in better shape (according to who?)
4. Going to be more, or less safe? (again, according to who?)


There are millions of vehicles, trucks, delivery trucks, work trucks, RVs, motorcycles and more and more parked INDOORS for their whole life and, if I was a betting man, I'd say well over 90-95% of them are on bare concrete. It's a choice and preference thing.
