One of the leading causes of tire failure is under inflated tires. Under inflated tires cause extreme heat build up that leads to tire failure. Tires can lose up to two pounds of air pressure per month. If you dont check your tires for three or four months they could be seriously under inflated. You should regularly check tire inflation, and adjust it if required.
You always want to check the tires when they are cold, meaning that you dont drive or move the RV before checking inflation. Invest in an accurate inflation pressure gauge. Check all tires and adjust pressure according to the manufacturers recommendation. Do no exceed the maximum pressure ratings found on the tires sidewall. Never check inflation pressure when the tires are hot, you will get a higher-pressure reading and if you let some air out they will be under inflated when they are cold.

It's important to have the proper air pressure in your tires, as underinflation may lead to tire failure. The right amount of air for your tires is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and is shown on the vehicle door edge, door post, glove box door or fuel door.
