When to replace tires

[Neemer]

I can probably get more years of service out of my 6 yr old tires, but when I think about the inconvenience and PITA assoc with being hard down on the side of an interstate, I just don’t need that in my life. Plus, I have my wife and two dogs with me. I’ll error on the side of caution.

Think of the down time for a blowout. Probably months getting repaired. Not worth it, nor the potential loss of life. This is the most dangerous part of RVing and the part that has worried me the most. I survived combat but not my RV! I don't want that story to play out.

The warrenty on a new car is 5yrs..do you throw it out at that time? They know how long it will last. And what if you hit the 50k miles in one yr..is it now dangerous to drive? Tires are subject to many variables..stored inside vs out in thd sun..carry heavy load or light..high speed or slow ..to say a 5 yr tire is dangerous is ridiculous.. Everyone can make their own choices..its not for you to call them cheapskatrs..just my opinion..no one needs follow it

"Warranty period" and "service life" aren't necessarily the same thing.
