Aged Out Tires
Read this and then decide. However I do not like sidewall cracks bur we ran our last set for 9 years.

We have been told on this and other forums many times that the rule of thumb for changing out RV tires is on or about seven years. And, I believe that's about correct. BUT..is there a 'rule of thumb' for getting new tires on the toad or other 'non RV' vehicles. Years ago, we all just looked at tread wear and when it was about gone we'd head for the tire dealer. Is that still an acceptable 'rule of thumb' or should, for example, non-RV tires be changed out at...say...ten years, twelve years, or some other age criteria? I tend to think, particularly on the toad, that years of service similar to the RV 'rule of thumb' should be adhered to. Any thoughts? / Larry
