Tires LT 225/75R16 load range E

Looking into replacing current tires, 5.5 yrs old on a E450.

Looking at Michlein, Goodyear, Cooper, Continental, Handcock.

They will be Out of Date long before tread wear is an issue.

Comments, suggestions, experiences would be appreciated.

    When we bought our 2012 C lass C used in 2014 it came with the Michelin's that were subject to a recall and they replaced all 6, mounted and balanced no questions asked. My tires looked fine and only had 16K miles but a few of that line had shown tread separation issues so Michelin recalled every tire in the line.

    x2, except for the recall stuff.
    I had a set of AT2s have some tread separation near their end of life cycle, and Discount Tire (where I bought them) was able to get me a new set of LTX MS2s on a low tread wear prorata. They were about 1/2 price for brand new Michelin tires.
