Tires - The 10 Year Rule
Hey gang, Regarding big, DP tires... I know most adhere to this rule and some prefer to replace tires within 7 years or so of date code. Others replace the steers every 5 and the drives every 1...

My rig is just a smallish {24'} Class C but the blowout of a 5+ year old Michelin the day after being inspected and aired up for the load by Discount Tire did $4,181 in damage blowing the wheel well right up through the coach. Had it been a front wheel it could have easily killed us. I'll never own a tire older than 5 years again.
My dear departed dad used to tell me "Son, any problem that can be solved by money is NOT a problem... If you have the money."
Just saying. Good luck.

Desert Captain,
Did your insurance cover a large percentage of that damage?
