Of course I'm afraid of the answer...hitch it up and move it occasionally ;-)

The tire balancing is a good idea.....the tire dealer had to add a bunch of weights to get my tires balanced.

Hitching up and moving occasionally is a good option, althougth that is usually inconvenient. When I park mine for the winter, I park on boards to keep the tires off of the pavement. I also recently bought tire covers, to keep the sun from deteriorating the rubber. I also make sure the tire pressure is kept up, so the sidewalls don't flex too much. I am not sure letting the air out of the tires is a good idea, unless you do take the weight off by the jacks. wmtire....suggestions????

BTW P&B.....great avatar!!! If y'all could get the TM down that winding road (driveway?), y'all shoudn't ever have a problem backing.
