Over or under inflating tires can cause tires to fail and if that happens on the highway, an accident can wreck your Rv or travel trailer. That's why federal safety laws require motorhome and travel trailer builders to install a label that tells future owners what the tire size and pressures should be for each vehicle and trailer. When the labels are wrong, federal safety investigators can order a recall to replace the wrong labels.
