A couple of weeks ago while cleaning the motor home, I casually checked the DOT code on the tires. As most of you may know, the last 4 digits signify the week and last 2 digits of the year the date it was manufactured. The tire showed the following:
DOT 244CHADI 5202
That means the tire is almost 8 years old! Most manufacturers recommend replacement at about 6 or 7 years old. A check showed all 6 tires were manufactured before July, 2003. So, knowing we head for Florida in January meant we had a decision - "DO WE OR DON'T WE REPLACE THEM"?
So, our bank account is lighter, but we have new tires.
Just a reminder, time flies and you might want to check your tires, too.
