RV tires

[alabamacruiser2]

Did not take an RV trip this year due to a European vacation. Our RV has been in storage for a year now. I have gone over and added air to the tires & keep them covered. Do I need to move the RV so as to "move the tires" & not be completely stationary OR is keeping the tires inflated SATISFACTORY ? Appreciate the advice.

If the tires are GY ENDURANCE they will be fine, Chinese POS not so much!

Appreciate the answers. I have on occasion inflated the tires AND also keep them covered and on 2X10 wood boards. The RV is a 5th wheel & I keep the battery at the house(charged). I need to take the RV to my local Goodyear store to grease the wheels before a possible trip in January. I will tow the RV there and have them also check the tires. Again, thanks for your replies.

Absolutely for a number of reasons. First you need to warm the engine and lubricants to cook off the moisture. Then you need to drive enough to make sure the batteries are completely charged. Finally tires need to be used at highway speeds periodically. When tires are used, chemicals in the tires migrate to the surface and protect against dry rot. Unused tires will dry rot to an unsafe level within less than 4 years.

if you have a MH i'd advise driving it ~100-miles on an interstate to use up some of the stale fuel, get the engine nice and hot, etc.

I agree. Proper inflation isn’t enough. Consider replacing your tires.
