I ran my last set on the motorhome 13 years. They were Michelin and I store it indoors with the tires on metal to stop moisture from migrating up out of the floor to cause dry rot. Finally earlier this year some minute cracks began to show up. Replaced them.
Four years is really not that bad unless they are severely dry rotted or sun damaged. If you do go for new though I would suggest you look at Hankook,& Toyo, along with some others like Firestone and General. With Michelins pricing and some fairly recent problems on their XRV they got to rich for my blood. Don't let the naysayers keep you from looking at some of the Chinese tires. They are making many of the name brand stuff in China now. There are several Chinese brands being used in Europe and Canada that are beginning to make their way into the U.S. One that comes to mind is sold at Loves truck stops. Name is Aeolus. Has a good tread wear guarantee. I don't know of anyone who has them yet.
