So you change tires on all your cars, your truck and your RV when they're 5 years old even if you've only worn 2/32" off them?
Shelf life means tires should not be sold if they're 6 years old, most websites I'm finding recommend changing them if they're 10 years old.
Near as I can tell they were made 04/11, the same time as the other 2 sizes
that are being recalled.
LOTS of info on this available..
On the other hand, I am sure you can get a used tire about the same age as the rest of your tires.... It is up to you.
I detest tire problems and the time, it takes to deal with it, as well as the damage it usually causes.
