Change that last one too...

And I will add, get a TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system)
Ours, from TST (TSTTRUCKS.COM) Has saved my ass. It monitors the toad too, $350 to monitor 10 tires. Peace of mind squared. Tire pressure changes, you know about it NOW.

My last "non-destructive flat" happened in a Fleetwood gasser. After 2 destructive blowouts. After checking air pressure at every stop (was gunshy by then) we woke up in Nebraska on a sunday to a flat inner dual. So I jack her up, take it off, drive the jeep all over hell and creation to find someone open with a compressor to fill it...

Short time later we traded for the DP. The TST system was my first addon.

And it saved my ass one day... started beeping while I was cruising down the interslab... saw a low pressure left rear inner... Pulled off onto the shoulder. Watched as within 3 minute the pressure went to zero. Called coachnet. Waited only 40 minutes... Coachnet guy replaced my bad tire with my unmounted spare in a couple minutes for zero dollars.

The tire he took off was starting to separate, 3/4 the way around the inside diameter. Another couple miles at 70 per, the entire tread would have come off. These things can DO SOME DAMAGE! Tear up the fenders, tanks, rip up any wiring that may be near. Serious damage.

As a total DIYer, I fix all my own stuff always. GET A Tire Pressure Monitor. On a DP, it costs less than ONE TIRE. No Exuses, just do it.
