What if you wait a year and get year old tires? Or if you have some situation that requires a quick move?
EXACTLY! Our rig, (below) was purchased new in 2014. The tires (Road King "Blow-Max's) looked brand new, only after the 1st of 3 blow-outs, I found out that some dealers buy tires in volume, and store them for new trailers. My call to Road King Warranty informed me my tires were 4 years old, so old (new tires) and chinese may-pops, is my problem. The reason I'm changing all now is: my spare is a recent blow-out (flat), one of the 4 mounted tires has a very large blister the size of a large grapefruit protruding out from the outter sidewall, but still holding pressure. A manager at NTB said a tire was brought to them in same condition, the tire was laying outside near the front door, it blew out while the guy was buying a new tire, and it was a significant explosion that rattled the windows, very Dangerous situation. My next RV will be negotiated with the best tire possible. I was naive about RV tires, no more! :C
