Tires

Your trailer is equipped at the factory with name brand
trailer tires. Most Airstream dealers cannot make
adjustments to tires. An Airstream, or tire dealer that
handles that particular brand, must do this. If you
experience tire problems, contact the nearest dealer.

Tire Changing

To change a tire with a jack, see the label affixed to the
underbelly located to the rear of the wheels. This label
reads JACK with an arrow pointing to a plate riveted
to the mainframe rail where the jack head must be
placed�

Jack Location

NOTE
Airstream does not supply a jack with the trailer.
The maximum speed rating on the tires installed
on your trailer is 130 MPH. Do not exceed this
rating. Failure to heed this warning could cause
catastrophic tire failure resulting in property
damage, personal injury, and/or death.

WARNING
Never attempt to change any tire on the trailer
without securely chocking the trailer's remaining
wheels. Never position yourself in a manner where
a raised trailer can come down on you if it should
become dislodged from a jack or ramp.
When removing aluminum-forged wheels from
spindle, it is very important to mark them to ensure
the wheel is placed in the same position of the
drum when reinstalling. If the aluminum-forged
wheel is to be mounted on a different drum, it is
important to sand all loose corrosion from the
mating surfaces.
Wheel separation can occur:
1. On first trip, tighten wheel nuts at beginning of
trip, and at 10, 25, and 50 miles.
2. Thereafter, check wheel nuts before each trip.
3. Following winter storage, check wheel nuts
before beginning a trip
4. Following excessive braking, inspect wheel
nuts�
