Tire life

[b_pilot]

I have a fifth wheel with Goodyear G614 G rated tires. They still have very good tread and still look good but they were made in the 19th week of 2014. I read that you can go between 6 to ten years. I know there will be many different opinions on this but I would like to hear some. Thanks.

Depends on what they look like, but, for real good peace of mind I'd get a TPMS.

Just like all tires not being equal, so is the care that the tires receive. If a quality tire, such as yours, is well cared for a 6-10 yr life IMO is accurate. With fair amount of care 6 years, and excellent care closer to 10 yrs. Tire life can vary due to inflation practices, storage surfaces when not in use, parked in sun, parked/standing long term, hitting curbs and potholes, overloading, or too high of speed.

You know more how they have been treated, than anyone here. If you feel they've had excellent care, I'd trust them another year or two.

Six to ten years is too long for my peace of mind. I go four to five. Looking good isn’t the deciding factor. Even according to what you’ve read, it’s time.
