DonTom said:Do you know about the four digit date code on tires? How old was it?
BTW, date codes should even be checked on NEW tires. Tires have a shelf life and there's no law regarding selling old tires as "new".

Michelin has an excellent video on handling a blow-out. There are links to the video here:

DonTom said:When you got your blowout, did you then know to step on the gas a little?
DonTom said:Yes, but I was wondering if you meant from the time you purchased them or if you went by the date code.
I know some in this forum say to change RV tires every three years, regardless of mileage.

Tom said:Tom, you must be thinking of another forum. Here's what we say in our library article on Tire replacement. This is consistent with what we say in our Glossary of RV Terms under Tire manufacturing dates codes.
I hope you're correct and it's just my poor memory! But let's hear from some others on this.
