Tires Older Than 10 Years Should Be Replaced
-
According to MotorHome magazine, the older the tire, the more likely it will need to be replaced. They cite Michelin, which recommends that "any tires in service 10 years or longer from the date of manufacture . . . be replaced with new tires as a simple precaution."
Bottom Line
-
Motor home owners should be aware of the condition of their tires and use this to gauge replacement needs. According to MotorHome magazine, increased air loss, noise and vibrations are all indicators that new tires may be needed. RV Advice recommends having tires inspected at least once a year as well as any time you drive on rough terrain. To make sure your tires are safe, replace them at least every 10 years.
