These tires showed no sign of wear, but the two that we didn't replace before we left had too many years on them, not too many miles.

After experiencing two blow out within 50 mi of each other on our previous motorhome, (which had old tires, unbeknownst to us)) we educated ourselves about dating tires. We are now diligent about knowing the age of our tires, using pressure sensor monitors, and visually checking the tires often.

Michael is with you and your daughter on the tire pressure monitoring systems--they don't prevent blowouts and they are sometimes more trouble than they are worth!
