Tires

[G.A. Kelley]

I have purchsed a 2007 Cherokee 30F. While checking tire pressure I found I have four different brands of tires with four difference maximun pressures. Does anyone know if this will be a problem or should I purchase four new tires?

While I'm not sure I totally sure I understand what you are talking about, I'll throw this at you. 4 different brands should not be a problem, AS LONG AS they are all the same size and the same load range, AND are all radial or not. If they are different load ranges, sizes, or a mix of bias ply and radials, I would get a matched set. Keep a couple of the others for a spare maybe. If you have a good spare, pick the best one with the proper load range, and buy three to match. Hope this helps with your decision.

It would be better if you posted the tire info from all 4 tires.

Example: ST245/75R/16 D Max press 65 PSI

The first letters are important since you don't want P rated tires AT ALL.
With 4 different max pressures (load ranges) they could be 4 different junk yard tires and could be darn well anything and should be replaced with a good quality trailer tire of the correct size and load range.

Your post tells me that the previous owner(s) have had tire problems and simply bought what they could find at the time. I would strongly suggest you scrap all five of them and buy a quality American made tires and go camping.

If for nothing else a good piece of mind while traveling down the road. I would replace all for a matched set, that is a match for your unit. I also would make sure the tires are not older than one year, newer if possible.

As Lou said, it would be nice to know the individual sizes and load ranges. With that we could tell you which, if any, to keep.

There should be a placard on the curb side front with the original tire size and pressure infi on it.

Just like Forest River to put my camper's placard on the driver's side front.

Thanks to all who replied!

Going to replace all with 10 ply rated Carlyles a bit of overkill to be on the safe side.

Very smart move. You can't put a price on being safe.

I just pictured that trailer looking like the old Toonerville Trolley wobbling down the road with 4 different tires.

I have heard that the Carlisle D rated ST Tires are MUCH better than the C rated ones. When My Carlisle C rated tire blew for no known reason (I was not overloaded but had run them faster than the "maximum" 65 MPH a few times) I replaced all four with Goodyear Marathon ST tires. I kept the brand new never run spare though. The C rated tires were NOT overloaded. The actual scale weighed weight of the camper was well under the C rating weight at 50 PSI. ST tires can be inflated above the placarded maximum by 10 PSI under certain circumstances (not to increase load carrying), just not all the time.

I should have said $60.00 rebate was for 4 tires not one also the BFG tires I bought are commercial rib 50,000 mile They are used mainley on cube Vans.So that said You get what turns Your crank.You are the one pulling a trailer down the road also google Tire Problems that will make You snap to the mark lol I did not beleave the write ups on the net about tires that are no good a lot are called China Bombs LOL....Bush

While some may say that LT tires are OK on the camper, I am a proponent of spending the extra and getting the correct size and load range ST tires.

Well You do as you want I was in the rubber trade for 33-1/2 years and do know a little about tires and rubber and You will most likely learn the hard way as I understand where You are comming from money is not My concern safety is far more important to Me I will not move a trailer on cheep tires again.I have spent time on the side of a main highway waiting for help with 3 blow outs in less than 15 min.they were under 1year old made in China bombs in all the 5 tires that came on that 5er blew out that was My 1st 5wh.Trailer I have the tires on a disk some place rims bent also I was stuck to buy 4 Tires and rims to get home.Good thing I was close to a big city...LOl. easy to talk about it to-day but I was one hot ,mad ,XXXXX thenlol ..Bush

[Herk7769]

Yikes, I thought my blowout was bad.

[Bushman512003]

Lou look at My last Pic.the name of the bomb (tire) and the last pic.has the size showing and By the way the one I painted to High light with orange was still holding air.Even with the lumps and missing tread.Heat I think was a big factor in the way they blew apart.I had left a rest area after checking the tires for heated hubs and I looked at every tire as I always do about 15min.and app.15miles before the Blow outs all was fine or so I thought no sign of any distress on any tire.I run about 62MPH with that unit.Good thing I was not in a hurry.LOL ...Bush

[Herk7769]

Same as my manufacturer... No warning for me either.

[Bama Rambler]

I was lucky and caught ours before they blew but three of the four had large blisters on the side or the tread. I changed them for Maxxis Load range D tires.
