RV vs. Truck Tires
Posted by Ronald on November 4, 2006
What is the difference between tires designed to be used on a large Class A motorhome vs. the same size tires designed for use on a large truck?
I can't speak for the other tire manufacturers but, as far as Goodyear is concerned, we formulate the compounds for the sidewall of the tire with materials that resist ozone and ultraviolet rays. This is because tires on motorhomes are typically on the vehicles much longer than tires on working trucks and need more resistance to ozone and UV rays. Also, the tread of the tire is designed to resist heat. Motorhome owners are more likely to unintentionally overload their tires.
