Time for new tires?
My 2014 Nissan Titan 4WD is still running on the Goodyear Wranglers original tires. P265-70-R18. Date on them is 3613...so that makes them almost 6.5 years old. About 25,000 miles on them. Yes, 25,...

Marty you’re screwed now, figuratively of course. Those dump truck tires probably fell apart while you slept last night after your statement above.
Good point about the “other” causes of blowouts.
The tire date stamp police on rvnet automatically go to the age of the tires , ever since someone glued them in on how to tell how old a tire is. (You’ve seen the threads on here from folks who select tires like donuts at the bakery and refuse the day old ones).
Just like the recent thread in the C forum about the popped dually tire that did a bunch of damage. No one even knows why the tire blew, but it’s assumed due to age.
In my measly 30 years of driving legally, the handful of flats I’ve had, not counting the GY marathon experience which has accounted for 3x the flats on only 3 trailers than ALL other vehicles combined....., I can account for road hazards or nails/screws for all but one flat. And that one was a blowout on an older tire on the back of a pickup. Of unknown history
