Someone else said it.... Live and Learn.....
When we bought our coach several months ago, we were told by the sellers that the tires were replaced 2 years ago. So, I'm figuring that I'll get at least 4-5 more years of of them. I trusted the sellers and did not check the date codes...turns out, they did replace the tires 2 years ago, but they were sold old tires....8 years old to be exact....making them 10 years old when I got the coach. Well, I found out AFTER we had a blowout and the service tech told me how old they were...on the side of I-40... with traffic whizzing by... Now, we have 6 brand new tires with 2014 date codes....just in time to store it for the next 3-4 months while Old Man Winter kicks around. Again...live and learn.....
