Water is absorbed in a tire? Just last week it was air was leaking out through the rubber
in the tire. I bet 100 PSI of air leaking out will prevent natural absorption of water
in.
Would you post this tire manufacturers recommendation Please? I never heard of it.
I have been into show cars and collector cars for most of my adult life, no one I know
puts the car on pads to save the tire. Yes, on vinyl or tile floors, to protect the floor,
not the tire.

: Tire mfg's recommend a vapor barrier under your tires, especially when
: parked on concrete, as the concrete draws the moisture/oils out of the
: tires. Many surfaces do to one extent or another, but concrete is about the
: worst. You don't have to deal with the effects of this on your car tires in
: your garage because you wear them out before they dry out. But owners of
: show cars & collector cars will normally protect the tires from drying out
: by using a vapor barrier. Anything is better than nothing, but something
: that does not absorb water is best. IN ADDITION, many will argue that you
: should not park your RV where the tires will be standing in water. The
: argument is that the tires will absorb the water, which will rust the steel
: belts, possibly causing premature failure.

: I put down a 4' X 4' squares of 1/2" CDX plywood over a sheet of 10'
: X 35' plastic weed mat so that tires rest on the plywood and weed mat blocks
: insects and weed growth under coach.
:
: Advantage: weight of coach causes a small bowel in the ground under each
: wheel that retains a little standing water most of the time.
: This puddle under the tires effectively blocks ants from crawling up the
: tires. (Had ant problems before I tried this now none!) Plywood keeps tires
: from tearing the plastic or sinking into ground.
:
: Even if dry, the plywood soaks up insecticide and a good dose lasts a long
: time to block insects during dry spells as crawling insects have to crawl
: over several feet of plywood to get to tire and into coach. I have our home
: insect control company spray the plywood each time they spray the house.
