Tires again with apologies

[cavy16262]

Just checking about the boards answer to the 'years of service' from tires.



I have the Nanco - 15" load range D on the 32 foot quad bunk ZINGER.



I purchased new in 2006 (although the Zinger is a 2007 model).



Tires are in their 3rd year with minimal wear.



What's the members experience with "Dry rot" potential of the sidewall with these 4 Nanco's????

I can't speak for the Nanco tires but we had the Mission tires replaced that came on our trailer a couple of month's ago. They had begin to show signs of cracking on the sidewalls and two had the belts starting to seperate. If your tires are 3 years old and you don't have metal valve stems that could be a point for failure. Also check the spare.

my nancos were two years old with severe signs of sidewall cracking. i had them replaced.

my unit is an 06, I had towmaster tires from the factory, I do keep them covered but this year in the spring I had 2 tires with cracks so I scrapped them all and replaced them with LT tires, if you have the slightest doubt that the tires are no good, just replace them, the peace of mind is well worth the expense.......

What kind of tires has everyone been renewing them with?

Thanks for the answers...I kinda thought that would be the wise choice...we're heading to Myrtle Beach in July - after an out of the way trip to Bristol Tennessee...1000+ miles in a few days each way...better get em' changed

i received "freestars", but like i said in a prevous thread, i'm going to replace these also because they barely cover the weight of my trailer...barely.
