My Goodyear Endurance tires just turned 5 years old. Some sources say tires age out at 5 and others say 6. The price of these tires has gone up 50% since I bought them. I’d love to squeeze another year out of them but not if it’s too risky. Thoughts?
Depends on several factors. Some are....
Are the tires a commercial grade steel carcass tire. Their good for 8+ years and 50k-60k miles of service. Not so much poly carcass tires.
Have they been protected from the sun while not in use. Lots of rv trailers may make 3-4 trips a year with low miles of service.
Tires need to be used so how many miles do those tire have in those 5 years.
Have they had the proper care in those 5 years....no derated per minimum load pressure charts..... Bounced over curbs/rocks/etc.
