Especially all the "high qwarity, make in China!" crap that is out there now. I gave to replace the tires on our fish hauler goosenecks every other year. Still plenty of tread left, but after two years (two summers, really) they will start shedding the tread and/or blow out. Boat trailer tires too, couple years max. Truck tires are good to 40k or so, but the trailer tires maybe only 15k. Not too good, especially at the prices they're charging...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-9025807044862597242012-03-21T13:35:54.544-04:002012-03-21T13:35:54.544-04:00Most people and RVers keep old out of date tires o...Most people and RVers keep old out of date tires on their vehicles just because they still have good tread depth and don't seem to be bothered about the weather cracks.
