Hi Folks actualy looking for info about the jacks. I can't see that extended use will hurt anything or the air bags, just somthing I was wondering.
As far as tire life Actually, this is something that I do know a bit about. I know there are those in the RV world that feel tires need to be changed ever 6-7 years, but many get confused, and have talked to tire people regarding passenger tires.
Tires on my rig are commercial grade 22.5 Heck the warranty on these tires from the OE I think is 10 years.
As food for thought, I would recommend doing a bit of google searching. Commercial truck tires from the big manufactures now don't have a defined service life. They can stay in service as long as they pass inspection. We have got tires on our fleets that are over 20+ years old and 100s and 100s of thousands of miles on them - (millions perhaps.) That assumes the tire gets professionally inspected and retreaded when needed (usually every 100K)
Recent study's are showing that modern tires also do not degrade/pulled from service due to age/ozone effect.
Thus a commercial truck tire can stay in service indefinitely. Have it inspected and replaced when the pro's tell you, not when the sales guy or internet.
