New Toyo Tires - Mind put at ease

[kenb1023]

Wearing out a tire is never my issue.  I am lucky to log over 2K miles a year.  My biggest problem is sidewall cracking from the New Mexico sun.  6 years is about the limit.  That and I have always been told to change tires every 7 to 8 years regardless of visual condition.

I have really nothing to add except to say I've had Michelin's on my 40DP DOT dated 2014 and 27,000 miles with no issues. One inside dully ran flat for a mile due to an improperly installed TPMS sensor. The road side assist guy who aired it up said he didn't think it ran long enough to damage it. That was 15,000 miles ago.
