Age of tires on your tow vehicle/ When to replace?
What's the general consensus (age wise) to replace tires on tow vehicles?
Forum Discussion
There are just too many variables to answer.
A lot of manufactures say 7 years.
Tires vary............A LOT! Even the same brand and make vary a lot.
Are the tires covered?
Do they sit a lot?
Are they a commercial tire?
Are they exposed to a lot of UV?
I could go on and on............................
We were towing a race car to the track once with my friends trailer and lost a tire cap. It still held air, just didn't have any tread on it. Those tires were 23 years old.
I had a tire on my TT and it was 15 YO. Finally wore it out.
We have tires on product trailers that I bet are 30+ years old and they are fine.
It just depends on a lot of things.
