The rule of thumb every motorhome owner should know
Bridgestone technician Christian Jensen reminds motorhome owners to regularly check their tires. In Denmark, driving is allowed on public state, municipal, and private common roads, but prohibited on forest roads.

It is recommended to check tire pressure monthly, with a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm and an optimal depth of 3 mm, and tires should be replaced every 4–5 years.
