We just bought a 2006 Tiffin Allegro on a Ford chassis with only 4000 miles on it. The Good Year load range F 19.5 tires were made in week 42 of 2005. I am familiar with the conventional wisdom of replacing tires after 7 years, but I wonder. The sidewalls are free of any surface cracks and needless to say, no tread wear. I asked a friend who is a retired Greyhound bus driver, and his take on it was to leave them on and just watch them closely. He said that if cracks develop at the margin of the sidewall and tread, to start looking for new ones because of the possibility of tread separation. What about this? He also said that Greyhound will not buy Michelin because of weak sidewalls - go with Good Year, Bridgestone, or Toyo. Opinions?????
