rockport tires

Spent about an Hour at the local Rockport tire shop yesterday and the traffic really showed that winter Texans are prepping for there return trip. Shredded trailer tires and advice regards road worthy items abounded. Had a class A motor home owner ask Craig to look at his tires. The tire date stamp was 2001. 16 years old. Naturally the owner says I do not want to spend 3000 dollars on a new set but can you assure me I will make it home to Michigan

    Sure! Possibly in a pine box but you'll get home.

    Hey I was shocked too but our winter neighbors just replaced their tires before their trip down last fall...they still had on the originals on their Winnebago
    Every year they travel from Dayton, Ohio to Cortez, Florida...
