Just traded my fifth-wheel for a 2014 travel trailer. Checked tires and they are XX/12. Spare is same as 4 tires. Have appt for 4 new tires next week.
Not chancing this one. My fiver, first trip out, 3 year old tires, 1 blowout on way down and 1 blowout on way back. My last trip out with fiver, tires were now 2 years old and a blowout. NOT overloaded. CAT scale. Not speed,
drive 55-60. Aired to correct pressure. Quality of tires.... sad.
Check date code, if within 2 years give or take, air up and check for cracks in tires. Safe side? 4 new tires.
