Unless you know a lot about tires, I recommend having them inspected every year by a professional tire dealer, one you trust to give you an honest opinion of the condition of your tires. Tires are designed to last from four to seven years from date of manufacture, depending on how and where they are used. In my opinion, five years on a fifth wheel is about long enough. Each month past five years increases the chances of catastrophic failure, and expensive repair bills for the resulting damage to the trailer. The Goodyear G614 is a good tire, but it's not bullet proof, even a new tire can fail.

By date of manufacture, I mean the date the tire was built, not the date the vehicle was built, nor the date the tire was installed on the vehicle.
