O.K., this is honestly a new tire question...I think..

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' ...

Short answer: That "Thumb" applies to ALL tires, Car, Truck, RV, Lawn and garden cart (Trust me I blew a couple of those up recently) Bicycle (Likewise) and ____ (You fill in the blank) if it is a pneumatic tire.. That's the thumb.

The major difference however is this:

IF I blow a tire on my lawn cart, while hauling laundry (by hand) there is NO secondary damage.. Not so the 22.5's on the RV.
