I have had a couple of inner dual tire failures on my last coach. They were Michelin XRV tires that were never run with low air pressure nor were they ever overloaded. I kept track of air pressure before each travel day and there were no road hazard damage when they failed. I have reliability experience and these fails at 2 years and 5 years of age were non random unexplained events that I persued with Michelin relaibility engineering. I sent these tires into them for failure analysis. I took close up photographs of the "zipper fails" right after they failed. One observation I made, that could not be explained by the Michelin engineers, is that there seemed to be rust (oxidation) of the steel sidewall cables in the fail region. They wanted to conclude that this oxidation occured after the fail but in the end they could not provide me a scenario as to how that could have occurred given it was dry out and the photograph was taken within several hours of the fail.
If you have ever pushed a tire schraeder valve and had it mist out some water with the air you can be assured that the air inside the tire is saturated with moisture. It is not uncommon to have air in a tire with a high moisture content depending on the humidity level in the air being compressed. Also if the tire dealer has not drained his tanks properly, has not installed water seperators, and kept those drained properly. I can remember releasing air from the valve on occasion and have moisture evident in the released air from my XRV tires. The air delivery systems at tire dealers and truck stops at best is hit or miss moisture wise.
The final outcome of all this was the hypothesis that the air and moisture slowly migrates through the sidewall, always seeking equilibrium with the outside atmosphere, would condense on the colder steel sidewall cables while the coach sat. This would eventually cause rust. The pits that are formed from the rust are rough and will saw the cables as they go through many expansion and compression cycles. This is only a problem in the RV customer base because trucks that travel most days never have time to accumulate condesate moisture on the steel cables. The heat and motion drive the moisture through the sidewall.
Michelin told me that the interior coating that you see on the inside surface of the tire is an air migration barrier coat and they were looking at possibly thickening that layer to reduce the migration.
The bottom line of all this is you need to use a dry air source, especially if your RV sits over the colder months. I have added a water seperator on my portable compressor and try and top off on dry days. Nitrogen as delivered is a controlled pressure source absent of moisture. If I had doubts about the quality of the air source moisture wise, I would opt for Nitrogen just in RV tires. Interestingly cars do not need to worry about using air saturated with moisture given there are no steel cables in the sidewall to worry about.
Dealing with sidewall tire failure and coach damage repairs from the compression shock wave while on the road is very painfull at best and dangerous at its worst.
My vote regarding Nitrogen use is just under certain conditions. If you could use your coaches air source with a receiver dryer that would also be ideal. You will probably never see this published by the tire manufacturers given the liability issues....Hope this helps.
