When to replace old class C tires?
What is general consensus of replacing tires on a class C? Age wise, I still have a lot of thread, but they're 8 years old now. 10 years? 8 years? When do you replace? Thanks

The recommendations I recall seeing from tire makers are to have them professionally inspected annually (both inside and out, which of course involves dismounting) starting at around 7 years, and replace if needed or unconditionally at 10 years. Since the inspections are a fair bit of labor and that costs money, I'd probably skip that and just replace at 7 years.
Tire longevity does depend a lot on storage conditions: temperature, ozone concentrations, UV light levels, and quite possibly moisture. They generally last longer in the north than in the south. Misuse or abuse (such as running with too little air, leading to excessive heating when driving) also lowers their lifespan.
