SpotTheScotts: Replacing ALL of our Fifth Wheel Tires! ~ RV Life! {#296}



After the near-blowout incident a while back and the HUGE bubble in our tire, we knew we needed to push up the purchase of new tires for our fifth wheel. Although we just purchased this fifth wheel new 7 months ago, the tires that they come with are just not very good to begin with and we have put in a LOT of miles already, with a lot of uneven wear due to the gooseneck hitch we had. Brian takes care of the tire replacement while Christie is in Florida. {Filmed June 3&4, 2016} { PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL and don't miss a video! } RV life, RV decorating & organizing the RV, Visiting awesome new places, National Parks, Hiking, and even Cooking - we bring our FULL TIME RV LIFE to YOU through YouTube!

  1. Amazing how companies will go with cheaper tires....then again...not. If you had to do it over again...what RV unit would you buy?
  2. I have a 2013 Avalanche 37' , I had factory tires replaced with 10 ply Yokohama LT truck tires. trailer pulls Smooth and straight. best part is the peace of mind. purchased at Discount Tire as well. God bless n safe traveling
  3. So what brand/size/ply did you end up putting on your trailer ??? More Chinese tires ???
  4. on your trailer you have a spring suspension and if you notice between the springs is the center mount that is an "Equalizer" !!!! that equalizes the two axles so one can raise or lower keeping both axles on the ground equally !!!! Raising the front of your trailer did NOT put more weight on the rear axle !!! the wear was on the edge !!! You have an alignment problem on that side of the axle !!!! Discount tire is great !!! I swapped out a set of Radial Goodyear ST tires for a set of LT tires larger and more plies on our large horse trailer!!! gravel roads would guarantee a flat tire on the rear axle. rock puncture right through the tread. 4 flats in a year and I changed them out...no more flats on gravel. We also towed with a 97 F series Super Duty, (F450), had a similar flatbed I built, hauled the camper and pulled the horse trailer, mainly in the mountains. drove it for 15 years and only sold it because we quit riding and RVing.. we also had a 26 ft RV trailer. enjoy !!!!
  5. In the spring, before I left for our Alaska trip I swapped out mt RV trailer tires also at Discount Tire. Went with the Maxxis brand. Got me a little nerves too when they put the whole trailer up on 4 jacks. 13.3k miles to and back from Alaska this summer and the tires still brand new. The OEM tires were "junk" !!
  6. well it happens more then you think, and i would let some air out just to be safer, on tail you get a nother tire.
  7. The Alcan in general was better than I expected. We also did the Klondike route ( Whitehorse / Dawson City / Chicken AK.). About a 100 miles before Dawson City was frost heaved roads and the gravel section in the US from Jack Wade Juction to Chicken was narrow and bumpy (30 miles).
  8. Yes I had my RV trailer tires replaced at Discount Tire 2 months ago before our Alaska trip. The tires that came on my 2013 trailer were showing sidewall cracks
  9. Put on G-tires not LT. Not a good thing to do. Just Put on G tires
  10. I have the same tires and wheels you do. Gulp! I was looking into getting the same replacements you got but I read that there might be an issue with that wheel handling the additional tire pressure needed for that tire. Did the tire place say anything about that ? Thanks. Cheers!
  11. Go home and take a nap, that's funny 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
  12. Were those original tires made in China?
  13. All that money for such a nice camper and yet they put on crap tires. Glad you got safer ones for the road
  14. Good deal with the tires,thats the same I have on my 42 foot infinity camper.My first set were on a Newmar camper.No problems I drive with confidence,with these tires.I think ST stands for stupid tire.LT stands for lovely tire.see ya have a blessed day yall.
  15. How many tires did you end up buying? 😩😁did you end up getting only 1
    Spare tire for the Rv?
  16. Don't fondle the bubble Brian!
  17. Here's to happy & safe travels!
  18. After 2 blowouts on my 5th wheel toyhauler, and damaged siding and mounding, I finally went with "G"rated tire. .  Big $$ but that's what they put on livestock trailer down here in the Colorado 4 corners (you know where that is).  No more problems.BTW Discount tires is top notch.  My grandson is working at the new store in Durango and the training was unbelievable.Hope they work outstanding for you.
  19. I'm glad you went with the Goodyear 614. Excellent tire
  20. I have been dealing with discount tire for over 10 years.
    I get the warranty any problems they change out tire,
    Discount is great
