I have been proactive in learning about the tire issues since we first go into RVing. Believe me when I say that the general public is oblivious to the issues with old tires. I've had family members and friends who have had problems with trailer tires that were over 10 yrs old and were not aware of the age dates etc. A friend was bragging about the great deal he got on tires for his car. I checked them and found they were 5 yrs old! He went back to the dealer ant was told that the "clock" didn't start until they were sold and in use. The industry needs to begin a customer awareness program to insure that everyone who is using their products knows about the fact that tires deteriorate and what rate that occurs at. OBTW while at a Rally in Oregon years ago the GY rep their told me the G670s on my MoHo were good for 10 yrs. One of them just blew out in Tulare Ca last month at age 7. No damage, just inconvenience.
