I truly can't give you a number like all the RV.Net tire experts have! There are so many factors involved that go into a life of a tire! I tried to pin down a Michelin Tire Engineer one time to give me a specific number and he couldn't. But he did mention if you give your tires Quality Care (see Michelins website), how you drive, and the type of tire you own can make a difference in longevity. I just changed out my tires a few months ago after 10 years of use 235/80/22.5)! I followed Michelins Quality Care Program to the letter, I owned Michelin XRV's which is the softest rubber compound made in an RV Tire (soft rubber adds life to a tire, especially when the tires are sitting for long periods of time) and Michelin also adds Sun UV protection into there rubber compound. It sure worked for me! Good Luck to you! Rooster
