[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3795291, member: 7900"] Yeppers... ...but, we always heard that they aged out in 7 years. A couple of years ago, we had both of the RV's axles replaced and while they were being done, the wife and I examined all four of those tires. No sign of crack anywhere, either in the tread or on the sidewalls. That said, there was no way we were going to be towing the trailer anywhere with tires that old. Just as an FYI for anyone that might be interested, most of the tires our friends have are Goodyear G114, H-rated tires with the size of 215/75R/17.5" I didn't look at all of the tires but I suspect that their age will be 2 to 4 years old. RV owners have been removing them to put on Continentals, if I remember right. However, the point is, if anyone can use some of those tires, they are free to others besides ourselves. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll give more information on our friends and where they are in Elk City. Oh, and for the date code, look for the DOT information (probably on the back side of the tire), which will be a series of numbers and letters. The last four numbers are the date code with the first two numbers being the week of the year that they were manufactured and the last two being the year they were manufactured. The ones I chose were built late in the year of 2020. EDIT: I know Okiejoe owns an RV park, so if any of his customers are interested, they may want to look into these tires as well. [/QUOTE]
