Keep five years in mind
After five years or more in use, your tires should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year by a professional.
My rig came with Michelins. They rotted long before five years from the inside out. Strings were showing that wicked water to the interior of tire. Dealer gave me credit for the tire, I changed them all out. Two others showed problems inside when removed from the rim.
Yes, this was sometime ago. Never had Michelins again.
You should have your tires inspected annually by a professional. Why? Alignment issues can affect the tire too. How do we know? Two years in a row inspection showed a failed spin test, so those tires were replaced. We were advised to get our alignment checked and we were off just enough to cause problems. After alignment, no problems.
