When to replace LT tires on trailer

I installed some BFG Commercial T/A tires on my fifth wheel in '09. They're coming up on 7 years old. I inspected them over the weekend and they look great. Plenty of tread,wearing evenly, no sidewall cracking.

Other than having less tread than new,they basically look like fresh tires. I'm having a hard time with the thought of replacing tires that look to be in excellent condition.

Having said that,if I need to throw $800 at new tires I will.

  • Trailer tires even when they are LTs age out vs wear out due to 'lack of use' (sitting) and from sidewall stresses from maneuvering

    5-7 yrs avg. tire life

    One blow out can cause 1000's of dollars in damage
