tires out of round

My friends have never complained about them.

How does it drive? Tires don't "go" out of round....they are made that way.

Drive it you will feel it

Yes it is a common thing with them any good tire shop can fix it

I feel that most tires will develop flat spots if allowed to stay in one place too long. Should slowly return to round when you get back on the road. One reason to support the MH with the jacks if staying a while.

Never had an issue with mine. Store in winter off the jacks and on the tires. No flat spots.

We are looking at class A motorhomes. A guy told us that good year tires are known for going out of round. Is this guy full of BS or can someone help me understand what he is talking about and if it is true how do you know if a tire is out of round?

Never had that problem, but they do wear a lot more and would never buy them again. In fact and as said before, I've quit paying for any name and installed 4 genuine Chinese Hercules on the drive axle before our last US tour and beyond. So far, we're happy with them and especially for under $200 each, delivered to the inside of our garage with no shipping and no tax, courtesy of Amazon. A local shop did the mounting and balance for a nominal fee, so we couldn't beat that with a stick IMO.

Sounds like a salesman.:)

Out of round conditions are rarely caused by poor tire construction. The vast majority of what is referred to as "out of round" is caused by poor mounting.

Quoting Michelin's RV Tire Guide below.

We run Goodyear tires on our semi's and the mechanic have to check them for round when they mount steer tires. If people turn the steering wheel while stationary (IE during backing maneuvers) it grinds flat spots in the tires. This causes the tires to grow out of round and causes front end vibration. Drive tires normally get scuffed while turning and maintain their round.

Don't know if that's what he was talking about.
