When to replace tires on trailer?
I have been told to replace your trailer tires from every 6 years to up to 10 years. My tires have a 08 stamped on them, so I know their time is close. They have none of the small cracks like my old ...

It's a good decision to replace the tires. I put Maxxis tires on our trailer this spring before a 4K trip out west and the OEM tires were from 2014....I just didn't want to take any chances.
With any tire there is a chance of failure. But you can minimize the chance of failure by making sure you aren't overloading your trailer, maintain proper tire pressure, and check your tires frequently while on the road. I make it a habit to do a "walk around" everytime we stop while traveling. I carry a compressor with me and check tire pressure frequently when on longer trips. The only tire problems I've ever had were with some Goodyear Marathons that started wearing unevenly. I noticed it while camping and had the tire replaced with the spare. When we got home, the Marathons came off and a set of Maxxis went on the trailer (back when we owned a 2002 Sunline).
Stay safe!
