RV tires will dry rot before you need to replace them based on tire wear. Big Rigs drive over 100,000 miles per year so they get multiple benefits from this. Anything is better than nothing.
I agree, the ability to put as much tire footprint on the ground with equal loading seems important to stability. The 20% is nice with the larger tires I am using since they cost 325+ a piece.


Hey gmtech can you do wheelies? jealous...
