Tire covers
Do tire covers help save life of tires or not
Forum Discussion
Tire lifetime must depend on factors unknown.
My motorhome tires cracked and had to be replaced at age 6 years with plenty of tread left. Of the four ten year old tires on my old van, two had some small sidewall cracks so I replaced them last summer. The other two looked fine so I ran them another year. Replaced at age 11 years when my daughter was going on a trip with the van, and some tiny equally spaced x cracks appeared around one sidewall. All Michelin, no covers ever used. I have an older van that has been parked in the yard for 20 years - no flats. I think I aired them up about 5 years ago. My daughter's very lightly driven Caravan had tires deflate through cracked sidewalks at age 4 years.
I use covers on the motorhome's year old Michelin MS2s.
