SIZE TIRES?

mY 2001 DAMON INTRUDER IS IN THE SHOP GETTING NEW BATTERIES. I know and the shop manager said i should put new tires on it. Should i rely on the RV shop or go to a tire dealer and get prices. Also, since i have no idea what size the tires are, does anyone have a similar RV that could tell me what size they are?
  • Are the tires original to the motorhome? If so, they are overdue for replacement based on age. Most RV tires will age out long before they wear out. You will find the tire size stamped on the sidewall of the tire, and on a plate somewhere in the driver's area of the coach. That plate also lists the recommended tire pressures for the maximum load of the coach. Did the service dealer happen to give you the DOT date code on the tires?

    Not on a 2001 Intruder, they won't. They will be 19.5" or, more likely, 22.5".
