Unless you and your family are constantly on the road in your RV, chances are you recreational vehicle is going to spend some time in storage between trips. If that's the case, you're going to want to follow these tips for ensuring that your tires last for as long as possible while they're not being used:

• Keep the vehicle in a cool, dry storage area out of direct sunlight or UV rays.
• Place the vehicle on blocks to remove the weight from the tires. If the vehicle can't be put on blocks, make sure the storage surface is firm, clean, well-drained and reasonably level.
• Unload the vehicle so that minimum weight is on the tires.
• Inflate tires to the recommended operation pressure plus 25%, but don't exceed the rim manufacturer's inflation capacity.
• Thoroughly clean the tires with soap and water before storing them.
• Move the vehicle at least every three months to help prevent ozone cracking and flat-spotting, but avoid moving it during extremely cold weather.
