It is very important that you take your tyres really seriously and take a good look at tyre sidewall markings. if you buy a second hand motorhome, please make sure that the previous owner has fitted the correct tyres before he sold it to you.
Most reputable motorhome companies will have checked to see if you have the correct tyres fitted, but it is your responsibility to double check the tyre size and, just as important, the load ratings and ply ratings.
Some tyre companies, such as Michelin .
even make a special tyre to fit motorhomes called Agilis Camping. This tyre has a great tread pattern to ensure that your motorhome does not get stuck in a field or other off-road situation. The tyre also has the correct load ratings for such a heavy vehicle, so it is well worth looking out for.
