Some of us do 2 tires at a time, every year. I personally do about 6 years
on a complete set of 7. Maybe more, maybe less if we are planning a long
road trip. I prefer to have fresh rubber under the coach, rather than worry
about whether one of those potential bombs are going to detonate and tear
$3000.00 plus worth of motorhome up when they let go. That is a bit on the
conservative side if major paint is involved..
