Tire Replacement
My Airstream blew a tire returning from Colorado two weeks ago. I carry a spare wheel with mounted tire and a ramp to use as a jack.
Discount Tire ordered a D rated Goodyear Marathon for me and installed it today. I offer the following tips for all Airstream owners.
1. Buy a replacement tire that matches the ones you have.
2. Check the date code on the replacement tire. Do not buy tires that have been sitting on a dealers shelf for several months or years.
3. The black marks left on the aluminum side of your trailer by the tire can be removed easily with full strength Pine-Sol. Rinse well after.
