Hey Michael, congrats on your new camper! The Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel item # AM31233 will need to have the lug nuts torqued to 75-85 ft-lbs. You'll want to tighten them in a star/cross pattern to ensure even pressure. On your first trip you'll want to recheck them about 50ish miles in.

Speaking of first trips, got any plans for breaking in your new camper?

Hey Michael, how did things go torquing the lug nuts on your Loadstar tire and wheel for the Sea Pine? Did the 75–85 ft-lb range work out well on your first trip? Your feedback could help others getting their campers road-ready too.

@JerredH We haven't installed them yet but I'll try soon. Do you recommend we get the tires balanced before install or are they good to go?

@Mike The item # AM31233 tires will definitely last longer if you get them balanced! We have the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads item # CA66VR that makes balancing your trailer wheels and tires easier and far less expensive. You'll need one per tire. These install through the wheels valve stem. The beads move to the opposite side of the heavy spot, reducing vibration and correcting imbalances automatically.
