I got beat up on several other forums about tires. This is what I posted and after 2 pages of verbal abuse, I finally got a realistic answer.

New guy here. Just bought a 32' 2004 1311 Breeze. Only 15K on the clock and it was kept indoors.(major warehouse owner). I've read many posts about tires and I know what they mean by not lasting long enough to wear out. I had a 33' TH and until I went with LT rated tires, it was a nightmare with ST rated ones. Tried all brands and load ratings. Finally went with some Yokohama 16" LTs. and have never had a flat since.
The Goodyear's on my Breeze are 245/70R-19.5 G670s with a date code of 2503. They have absolutely zero cracks and lots of tread. Other than some very minor scuffs, they look almost new. It will be kept outside now with tire covers and a bottle of 303 on both sides of the tires. Is it un-realistic to expect more than 8-10 years out of a set of tires? I will be towing a 20' car hauler with an 1800# sand rail. It'll be Just Me, the dog, some tools and gas for the rail.
Convincing response that makes sense. A lot better than: "Because we said so."

A lot better than some of the responses I was getting from some of the old farts that are set in their ways and think that their way is the only way. The ones that GASP like they were poked in the butt when they hear words like poo and pee.
