Older Rv Tires
Posted by James from Melbourne Beach, FL, US on April 19, 2009
I have Goodyeat 275/70R/22.5 G670RV on my Safari Cheetah 38PDQ Motorhome. The date code is the 36th week of 2003. The tires are in great shape as far as wear, they only have 6,000 miles on them. My question relates to age and when to replace, they have no checking but the oldtimers say to replace them at 6 years of age regarless of wear and mileage.
With the newer tires and your ozone and UV resistant compounds, is that still true or an old wives tale. Should I replace them now?
If the tires show no signs of weathering on the sidewalls, they should be fine. If you want the opinion of an expert, I suggest you visit a tire dealer you trust will give you the straight story. There is no age limit on tires. It is all a matter of how they have been maintained and cared for.
