    Default Time for new tires

    Ok, I guess it is time for new tires. My Michelin 315s look brand new, no cracks, good thread BUT 2013s. My plans are to put 2 new on the steers, 4 new on the drive. Question for all, do you think I will be safe with the best older tires on the tag? Or should I put new on the tag as well. My concern is the damage to the rear IF there is a ever a blow out.

    Thoughts?

    You are right. The cost to fix the bus versus the coat of new tires.a no brainer. Buy the best tire that you can afford.

    I would check with Michelin, your tires may not be "aged out" yet.

    Be sure to contact NTCS, you won’t find a tire any cheaper and you pay Michelin just like the Advantage, but less money.

    If you know how your tires have been used, why not trust Michelin that warranties your tires for 7 years? If the coach had a time on the times before you bought it, your decision to replace in advance of the need could be a good one. Someone may have ran those tires sufficiently under inflated that they won't make it to the 7 year warranty period. It's your money and your choice and I certainly understand the safety risks associated with tire blowouts. Personally, I'm going to trust Michelin and run mine 7 years.

    Gil,

    I purchased the coach in late 2018 which means the tires had 5 years before me. Knowing that should I replace the tags also? I know this is just a gut call, but would love your thoughts. Thanks
