Tire life?
My question is I have S637 tires that are 12/15 dated with lots of tread so what’s the usual life span on these tires? Also they list 110psi on the sidewall and I’m running 80psi. Should I air them ...

In a couple months I’m making the journey from Houston to Orlando and prepping early.
FWIW, the Sailuns =are= LT tires, just rebranded at STs for import tax purposes. I'd run them for at least another 3 years, barring any issues, so long as you keep them covered and use a good treatment, like Aerospace 303, which =adds= back some of the compounds that volatilize out over time, or which stuff like Armor All actually pulls out of the tires. I'd also run at much higher pressures. Someone recently posted here about how they'd pressured down their Sailuns to match the load and, when he checked, his tires were running considerably =hotter= than his older, E-rated tires. He ended up running pressure back up to max and his temps came down on the order of 40-50 degrees!

IN bold: NHTSA would not allow that and the TRA would not approve it.
They let GY get away with it on their G614 because they registered the tire name as Regional Service Trailer (RST) and put "for trailer service only" on their sidewalls. That made it unique.
