What age to replace tires?

At what age do you replace tires?

What is the consensus of replacing tire due to age?

Maybe 12-15 years ago I seem to remember ( maybe not correctly) that most people were not going over 10 years old, no matter how good the tire looked.

Then last 10 years or so many people recommend not going over 7 years as many school dist and buses were not going over 7 years.

Lately, I’m seeing more and more people talk about 5 years.


Question...When did you personally replace a good looking tire due to age?

  • I have heard several times and have been convinced after blowing two tires that looked fine but were approx. 7 years old and experiencing damage to our rig of around $7,000 (thankfully mostly covered by our collision insurance) that the expected life of an RV tire is 5 years. I plan to stick to this in the future.
