6 years ago.
I've seen that recall but it looks like it's only for 2 sizes (which seems kinda strange?) and my 225/75R16's are not part of it.
If I do decide to go for a complete set of new tires I don't think it will be Commercial TA's again. I went to the 16" E rated TA's when I ditched the 15" D rated China Bomb ST's, don't think I should be having this problem with hardly any wear on them.
6 years old? You should play the lottery, YOU are a lucky man. I will change mine after 3 years. I will not let them stay on for 4 years again.
And before you say anything about changing car or truck tires every 4 years. Please under stand. trailer tire are completely different than truck, or car tires. Biggest thing. Car, and truck tire ROLL every day, or most ever day. Rolling OILS the tire. Preventing them from dry rotting
Trailer tires sit for months on end with out rolling, well most do. and sitting allows them to dry rot, as they can't oil themselves. It doesn't matter how much tread they have. It only matters how old they are, and how long they have been sitting still.
Your tires are 6 years old, and barley worn. they been sitting a lot. They are just looking for a place to come apart. Get them off before you leave the driveway again. OR. Do you feel lucky? Well do you.
BTW. I had 2 yes 2 trailer tire separate last summer in one trip. they were 4 years old. Before that. On my last TT. I had one come apart after 4 years, a Goodyear. My TT tires will never stay on that long again. And I take real good care of my tires.
