Somebody here will surely pop in and review how to tell
the date of manufacture of your tires. If they are over 5
years old, they all need to be replaced. Motorhome tires
"age out" before they wear out! A single blown tire will
cost you more in repair costs than a complete SET of new!

Subject: [GMCnet] Tire Q - 1 or 2 is the question.
Hi, I’ve read many different perspectives on tire replacement for the GMC.
Upon delivery we noticed that one of our tires is flat, (passenger-rear)
and are going to need to replace it. All of our tires look good they’re
under 5k miles, so just curious should we order two and put them in the
front and swap the front ones back like the previous blog entries say?
Looking forward to your input thank you
RaeRae
Hoping our signature attaches

If the date is on the inside of the tire, BLOCK THE COACH UP before you go under it to loo0k. A failed tire will put the frame so close to the ground that it will kill you if you're under it.

The first set of tires I bought for my new then (2004) Alcoa's, the dealer put the tires on with the date codes on the inside. Five yrs later when I went to check age, I had to crawl under the coach to find the date codes. After that, one of my specifications when buying tires is to insist that tires be mounted with date codes to the outside. On two occasions I've had to have the dealer dismount and remount when they failed to put date codes outside. Now, I talk directly to the individual doing the mount and make sure he understands what I want and why. JWID
