Tire age
Found this report from a while ago. I didn't know tires had a manufacture date printed on them so you could figure out their age. And what a cryptic format.

Is 5 years about what you all put on your trailer tires?

I dont think trailer tires are good for more than 4 or 5 years. I replaced all of mine this year on a 06 trailer after one blew. Had a buddy, also with an 06, have 3 of his blow.

On my 10 year old Lund I blew a tire on my way to Norris Lake last year. this year I blew the other one. Both had LOTS of tred. This is the last year the current tires will make that trip on the 05 Moomba.
Both boats are stored indoors.

Got an 06 single axle and blew one this year. The tires had great tread and I always checked the air pressure before each trip. I usually take 3-4 trips a year traveling about 600 miles round trip.
Did notice slight dry rotting at the beginning of this year but thought it would make it one more year. Wrong!!
Boat stored outside during the summer and outside but inside a portable garage in the winter.
