Motorhomes How long are RV tires good for.

[KenGin31]

Looking at a 95 RV with 34k miles on it with orignal tires. How long are the tires good for and how much would it cost to replace them?

Depends on the vehicle and the care given to them. Call a tire store with the tire sizes and get a quote.

The new RV that we got this year has Nitrogen filled tires. Came with it. Supposed to make them last longer....not sure if true.

Knowing the age and With that many miles I would just replace them. Do be mindful of the load rating or load range on the OEM tires :Look: and make sure the new replacements are the same load range or greater.

Why would you replace tires that still have plenty of tread on them, regardless of their age?

On most RV's the tires degrade because of the sunlight, not because of mileage. Inspect the tires carefully and see if you can find little tiny cracks all over it. If you do the light has gotten to them. Last week I got a new RV and one of the reasons was because the tires on my old one were 7 yrs. old with less than 5000 miles on them. I had to drive about 175 miles to make the trade and was praying all the way not to have a blowout. The only reason I kept the others as long as I did was because we nearly always camp no more than 75 miles from home. Unless the camper you mentioned was kept inside when not in use, I would replace the tires or just use the camper locally. tnhillbilly
