FYI Class A motorhome tire replacement .....

[Retired]

Ive read a few articles on Michelin ties that stated that the tire industry is constantly working on compounds that are UV resistant to extend the life of tires.

On my classic cars I run tires 10 years, but they are garaged and are never on the interstate. Having said that, I usually get tired of the wheels and tires and want a different look way before the tires wear or age out.

Joe, you did good ? reminded me of a line in my haulmark ownership manual.

"The oil will settle to the bottom of the tires when not used regularly ". I kinda let it slip out of my mind, from lack of use.

It's way too early for me but I'm thinking to extend past the 5yrs because we full time and the longest it's be parked is 2 months once since Sept 2019. From here on out, we're going to only park twice for a month timeframe then moving every 1-2 wks till we get to the RGV in Texas this winter. If the vehicle is utilized often, I'm thinking I can age the tires longer. I don't use covers but protect them with McKee's 37 non petroleum based tire products and they now have a ceramic based tire treatment that I may try next.

I'm going to run my tires at least 7 years. They are not getting very many miles compared to a tractor trailer with similar 22.5" tires. I'll look at them at that point and see where we stand. Mine were replaced by the previous owner in 2016 so that was 5 years ago. They still look new.
