How are new tires going to prevent flats? :h
New tires will not prevent all flats. however. New will give a much better chance. And may prevent tread separation.
As mentioned. Tires deteriorate with age, Tires oil themselves while rolling, as the side walls and tread flex. Trailer "most" trailer tire sit for months at a time, so they don't oil, and dry out really quick.
These tire were a few months over 4 years. Just past the limit I put on tires, and they did exactly what the last TT tires did when they were a few months past 4 years. Separated, and shreaded.
I understand many think it is ok to run old tires. But I won't ever again. There will be 5 new tires on my TT before it leaves the yard again, and I do mean NEW, not tires that have been sitting in the warehouse for years.
