RV FEATURE
There are more to tyres than most would think, especially if you want to get upwards of 100,000km out of them. I have done just that, using a few different sets of tyres, and am sharing my experiences in how that all went.
It all starts with with a good set of tyres to begin with. Do your research and choose a set that suits your driving conditions. I always choose a reputable brand of all terrain tyre. This is because we do a lot of blacktop driving, as well as a lot of off-roading across many different terrains. Such terrain types include beach, sand, dirt, gravel, mud and rock.
Good maintenance is key for longlasting tyres. Regularly getting a wheel alignment, rotating and balancing tyres helps them to wear evenly. A good practice is to do this at the same time as the vehicle service.
Another good habit is to regularly check and adjust your tyre pressures to suit the load and terrain while travelling. Not only does this make a significant difference in tyre longevity, but it improves traction, comfort, and wear on other vehicle components. Regardless of the sort of terrain or load, and even if you adjust your tyre pressures, it is a great idea to have a tyre pressure monitoring system( TPMS) to keep an eye on tyre pressures and even temperatures while travelling. A lot of modern vehicles come with this feature built in.
