Back to the tires now that we can have a civil conversation. Some question's for the OP, did your trailer stay outdoors? direct sun? tire covers? I am asking because I hear about these tires aging out but mine stays indoors climate controlled year round except when we are camping and they are covered then. They are Goodyear 614's put on at the factory with about 11k miles and are expensive to replace so I don't want to change them with out a reason. I just put Sailuns on my truck so if they hold up I will go with them on the camper at some point. Sounds like you either treated yours right or were just lucky.
I don't know. Maybe I was just lucky.
The camper does stay inside all of the time except when I am camping with it. It set in a unheated shed on a dirt floor. I am just a weekend camper that stays within 100 miles of my home. I go out almost every weekend in the summer but, I think I'm only adding about 1000- 1500 miles a year to the camper tires. My Travel Trailer is 20 foot long and only weighs 4580 pounds loaded. The old tires that I had on there were not near their maximum weight. They were rated for a heavier trailer then what my camper is.
I think that makes a difference.
Now, on the other hand my boat tires are overloaded. You can tell by looking at them. It too sets inside on a dirt floor and I never take it more then a few miles from home. But, I had a blow out after a few years.
