I only put +-1500 miles per year on them and the 5th wheel is stored indoors. I expect that they will still look great in 10+ years! I read/heard that they need to be changed from every three years up to 10 years. Placing all of the other reasons aside when do I replace them based on age only? When do you replace yours?

Thanks!

I run goodyear G614’s
Change them out at 5 Years without question
The damage caused by a blow out will always exceed the cost of the tire replacement

I had recently pulled my used spare down to inspect

It was a 2012 tire used as a spare
The tread and outer side wall were perfect
The inside side wall about a inch from the rim bead was showing excessive cracking.. that tire is toast

Don’t be fooled by remaining tread
