Hey Joel, so this is a great question because you'd think it would be based on mileage but in reality its based on age. They need to be replaced between 4 and 6 years because they start to break down around that time. Usually people don't put enough miles on the tires in that amount of time for them to actually wear out.

If you let me know what tire size you have I can see what you'd need if you are due to "retire".

Hey Joel, did you get a chance to check the age on your fifth wheel tires yet? Once you know that, it’ll be easier to tell if it’s time for a new set. Your update could help others figure out when to replace theirs too.
