Do you rotate your PC tires?  If so what pattern and how often?  Thanks, Steve

I never have rotated RV tires as they die of old age (about 7 -10 years old) before the tread wears off on my motorhomes.

 You need to check the manufacture date on the tires to know their age. Purchase date has no affect on age.  Near the DOT # And  current Regulations  mean steer tires on commercial trucks cannot be over 5 years old. So the risks are too great when you push the years... Manufacture date is the starting point.

From Michelin's website, 10 years is the answer.

Quote
1- Keep five years in mind
After five years or more in use, your tires should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year by a professional.

2- Ten years is a maximum
If the tires haven't been replaced 10 years after their date of manufacture, as a precaution, Michelin recommends replacing them with new tires. Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator.
This applies to spare tires as well.

3- Proper care expands a tire’s lifespan
You can increase your tire's longevity by maintaining the correct air pressure, performing regular tire rotations and vehicle maintenance.

Two ways to improve life is to keep them out of the sun or spraying the sun side with 303 Protectorant. DO NOT USE Amourall.
