Support

Since touring coach's may sit for long periods it is

important to properly support the tires if blocks are

used for leveling�

Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the

tires are fully supported when using blocks to level the

touring coach� The load on the tire should be evenly

distributed on the block and in the case of duals,

evenly distributed on blocks for both tires� If not done,

the steel cables in the sidewall of the tires may be

damaged and could lead to premature fatigue of the

sidewall�

The CORRECT methods are shown in Figure 1� Dual

tires are supporting the full load� Please note that the

blocks are wider than the tread and longer than the

tire's footprint� This provides maximum support to the

tires and ensures that the load is evenly distributed

throughout the tire's footprint area�

INCORRECT methods are shown in Figure 2: One

tire, a portion of one tire, or portions of two tires are

supporting the full load�

Tires that are incorrectly supported may be

damaged, which could lead to casing failure

resulting in serious injury or property damage.

If, on previous occasions, the tires have been

incorrectly supported, hidden damage may be

present. Please contact your local tire dealer and

request an inspection and a determination of

possible damage.
