Don't Buy Tires "with wrinkles"
A friend of my wife's married a man who had a Class C rig which hadn't been driven very far for a long time.
They were going to go on their two month "honeymoon" in the RV. The man knew he had to do some serious maintenance on the rig which included getting new tires. All was ready and they departed with much anticipation. They got a little over 50 miles when the first tire blew out. While getting the rig under control a second one blew. Fortunately, no one was hurt but you can imagine the fright and disappointment. Investigation showed that all six tires were 11 years old, according to the DOT code molded into the back sidewall. (Both sidewalls now). When you go to buy new tires, insist that they be no more than FOUR (4) months old. The way you can know is to go on the Web and learn how to read the DOT Tire Codes. It will keep you from being swindled or from being hurt or worse.
