The stabilizer jacks are not designed to take weight off the tires. Just to stabilize the movement of the RV. So if you want substantial weight off the tires or even off the floor completely you will have to jack up and block the axles (with a real jack).

Is there a particular reason you want to do this? There are usually only a few reasons that tires fail and sitting on concrete over the winter, I don't think, is one of them. Wear, age, out of alignment, but not just sitting especially it they stay dry and out of the sun. Most RV tires don't wear out, they age out. 6/7 years tops.

If I'm wrong, let me know. I can take it.
