My dad had michelins on a pickup truck once...I wish I could remember the numbers but it s truly jaw dropping the number of years and miles on those things... something well north of 100K miles...and he in no way babied them not even close. The only thing likely he would have never speeded with them.... but he worked, hauled, weather, off-road, never garaged
On the other hand, the OEM michelins on my mototorhome went boom mid April 2017
I don't recall the date codes but the RV was "born" March 12, 2013 and I remember the tires were dated somewhere close to that... so let's just be safe and say around about 4-1/2 years old
not too many miles on them...in fact the tread looked next to new. I had babied them keeping the pressures up diligently since owning it, but of course I have no history of what eh dealer or delivery driver did with them.
My rig is a 31 so much heavier than the OP's and I have no doubt that makes a huge difference here....
