When I had the tire decision to make I looked at it from a couple of different perspectives. First, how long am I going to keep the motorhome? In my case three to five years. My tires were in perfect condition since I owned them from new, I knew there history, but they were eight years old. I knew that they would need replacement during my ownership so I decided to ride on new tires rather then replace them later. Second, I have not seen any discussions on amortization of long term purchases such as tire. In my case six new toyo tires cost $3000. If I replaced them at eight years it cost me $375 per year at a ten year interval my cost goes to down to $ 300 per year. Your choice!
