TIRE REPLACEMENT INFORMATION
DO NOT replace with passenger car tires or
alternative light truck tires with a lower rating.
See your authorized Winnebago Industries
dealer or a Continental brand tire dealer for
details.
NOTE: The tires for this motor home are con-
structed for a specific usage and load
range to provide durability, perfor-
mance, and safety.
- Front tires are 195/65R16C, Load Range D
(European Load Index 104/102), light truck
tires. (In Europe, light truck tires are desig-
nated with a suffix C for "commercial.")
- For additional rear tire load capacity, the
tires installed on the rear of the vehicle are
size 215/65R16C, Load Range D (European
Load Index 109/107).
9-6
- When replacing any of the tires on this vehi-
cle, replace only with tires of exactly the
same size, usage type and load rating,
including the equivalent European load
index rating. Tire sizes and load ranges are
molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Rotation: DO NOT rotate rear tires to the front.
There is insufficient clearance to mount the size
215/65R16C rear tire on the front of this motor
home. You may, however, use the 195/65R16C
spare tire to rotate with the front tires only.
Spare: The spare tire is a 195/65R16C, the same
as the front tires. The spare tire may be used on a
rear position if inflated to 65 psi. However, you
should re-install a 215/65R16C on the rear posi-
tion as soon as possible.
Custom Aluminum Wheels: If your vehicle is
equipped with optional aluminum wheels, be
sure the tire service uses mounting equipment
designed for use on plated aluminum wheels to
avoid scraping or abrading the wheel finish.
Make sure the tire service uses adhesive balanc-
ing weights only! Clip-on weights will cut into
the finish and allow moisture to penetrate
beneath the plated surface.
WARNING
Replace tire only with one of exactly
same type and rating. DO NOT
replace with passenger car tire. See
Operator's Manual for details. For
more information call Winnebago
Owner Relations at 1-800-537-1885.
WARNING
When replacing tires, use the same
size, load range and construction type
(radial) as the original tires installed
on the vehicle. Use of any other size
or type tire may affect ride, handling,
speedometer/odometer calibration,
vehicle ground clearance, and tire
clearance to the body and chassis.
