How many miles before changing Truck tires

I have about 41,000 miles on my 5 1/2 year old Michelin tires. When I bought them they had a warranty of 70,000 miles and the newer tires only have 60,000 miles on them now. After how many miles before you replace your tires?

I replace trailer tires by age and truck tires by wear. If the tread is getting down or there or small cracks begining to form it's time for new truck tires for me.

It's not just the distance, but time is very important. The sun is very hard on tires, especially if they are not covered up during parking.

The G6 14s that came OEM on this 13 3402 are wearing well.We have them checked at a Goodyear tire store every year and out TPMS keep us at the correct PSI. My guess is they have near 40K on them and will be due for replacement in 2018.

Check them for weather checks. More of a concern than wear

I bought a MH last year it's a 2007 model with 5000 miles on it. It was always stored inside on concrete. The Michelin tires looked new, still soft with no cracks, perfect. I ask our local Goodyear dealer and friend should I replace them? Definitely was the answer, they have lost strength and if you have a flat a Goodyear dealer can't even fix it. Goodyear corp rules.
