I see lots of newer folks replacing or asking about replacing tires. This is good as where the rubber meets the road is very important. I have no expertise in this area but we have never had a tire issue. By replacing two tires every two years we save ourselves from needing to come up with a lot of cash at one time. The spare is also in this "mix". We started this shortly after purchasing a coach with four new tires on the rear but a poor set of tires on front. Never have tires over 4-5 years old this way. I dont care what the tread looks like, I swap them out. I also have 10 tire air monitoring system. Blow outs scare me. Most blow outs come from tires low on air pressure. I hate checking them so I have the monitoring system, but do double check all tires before taking a trip. Just don't check them at gas stops like I should.
Just something for newer folks to think about. In 9 years and almost 50,000 miles we have bought several tires, more than most, but I never sweat a blowout.
Just food for thought.
