Here are the 5 points:

1) Proper inflation

2) Do not overload

3) Right tires for the job

4) Prevent Dry-Tire rot

5) Replace tires that are 6yrs old



Regarding #5...it’s really a shame that I must replace 6 perfectly good looking, lots of tread tires.



That is, Ford chassis has 2016 dated tires (even though Thor build date is 2017).

So I’m now beginning the hunt for 225-75R-16 C rated 3,195# tires.



We’ve discussed this topic in the past, lots of threads on it.



Wondering if Forum members are practicing the 6yr tire replacement rule?
Call Petes road service. They have 9 location in so cal. They will buy your old tires, retread them then send them down south.

I dont know how they're prices are on new tires but I'll be checking next year when I change mine out
