Finally have a Maxxis issue!

HOW OLD are those tires? Because they don't look 3 years old, check the date code. I had 7 year old tires on the MH that looked new.

I share Jeremiah interest in the age of the tires. What was the date of manufacture? Its the 4 digit number on the tire sidewall.

Looks like they are dry rot.

I run Maxxis too but I am not sure they are any better or worse than any other ST tire.

I do have a few questions

1) when you say they are three years old is that based on your purchase date or based on the tire manufacture date which is on the date code on the tire?
2) do your tires sit in the sun uncovered for long periods of time?
3) do your tires sit unused for long periods of time?

Thanks!

Jeremiah

Storage lot is gravel and dirt.

Not any more than normal, I have a back in spot but its just a normal 45 degree back in.. I did notice when I pulled it out and did my light and system check that tire looked lower than the rest, check pressure about an hour ago and it was at 48, I topped to 50. Did a hands on to check for lumps and saw the cracking.
I am bummed, the front tire has slight cracking also, One thing to note though, this side does have more sun exposure.

Do you have to 'jack' trailer when parking it?
