New tires are needed (at the latest) when the
prole depth measures 1.6 mm.
Tires age even when used rarely or
not at all.
Tire manufacturers' recommendation
• Change tires after six years, regardless of
prole depth.
• Avoid striking curbs, potholes or other
obstacles.
Age of tires
Tires should not be more than 6 years old, be-
cause on the one hand your permission to drive
the camper at 100 km/h will elapse after this
period and, on the other, the material wears out
due to age and if the tires stand too long in one
spot. The 4-digit DOT number on the side of the
tire (if necessary, check the inside) shows the
date of manufacture. The rst 2 digits refer to the
week, the last 2 to the year it was manufactured.
Example:
DOT 2410 means week 24 in the year of manu-
facture (here: 2010)
4.3 Prole depth
and age of tires
The correct tire pressure is given in
the table on wheels/tire pressure
found under "Technical Information"
or on the labels in the gas-bottle
container and on the wheel cover.
If the tire pressure is too low, the tire
can overheat. This can result in
serious damage.
