Mr Burton,

Sitting on the side lines I am very confused about tires now. I bought a 77
Eleganza last October. The coach sat for 5 years because the PO passed. I
was excited because they had just purchased new Alcoa wheels and new
Michelin tires. T 225 75R16 LRE XPS Rib Radial X. They only drove 5K mile on
the tires and the coach has either been stored in the barn during the winter
or on the grass in the summer for the last 5 years. The date codes on the
tires read the 40th week of 2004. So they are going on 6 years old.

I don't want to buy new tires unless I have to. I sure don't want a blowout
while traveling. Safety.

Your post says to replace Michelin tires in 10 years or when tread is gone.
In your opinion you think it is safe to continue driving on these for the
next few years? I could sure use the money on other things for the coach but
I also don't want to put my family in harms way. To may horror stories
regarding tires over 5 years old.

Thanks for your input.
