Maximum Tire Width Recommendation For The Thule RV Wheel Levelers # TH307617

Published 11/06/2023

Question:

The tires on my f350 are 255mm wide. Would you recommend these levelers for my purposes? According to a reviewer on this site, the manual shipped with the levelers states that the tire should be 20mm narrower than the leveler. Is this true? Do I risk damaging my tire?

The instructions included with the Thule RV Wheel Levelers # TH307617 do state that the tires should be 20mm narrower than the width of the levelers for even support across the tires. That being said, these levelers are intended for motorhome use and most motorhomes are going to have a wider tire than 7-5/8" (roughly 194mm) and most people just ignore this guideline. You wouldn't really damage your tires, you'd just not have as much even support and could run the risk of more weight leaning to one side of the levelers if you don't have them perfectly lined up.
