Tire replacement

[jagibson58]

We have a 2024 Paradigm 310RL, I recently took a look at the DOT placard on one of the tires. To me it looks like they were manufactured in 2022. ( 2422) So, not exactly fresh tires from the start. Not sure if that is normal? I have always heard about the five year tire replacement rule of thumb regardless of their condition.

The time to examine the DOT date code on tires is when you pick up the unit. But you're correct, the rule of thumb is 5-7 years duration for tire replacement.

Does everyone check DOT codes on the tires when they buy a new RV or car?

The OEM sticker states that the unit was manufactured on 6/23. So, maybe the tires are not as dated as I thought.

You reported the DOT date as 2422, this means that the tires were made in the 24th week of 2022.

Most don't know but they SHOULD.
I replaced my OEM tires 0n day 1 with Sailuns. Unfortunately this is how the RV game is played.
Buyer beware has more relevance than it should.

I got burned years ago on this exact issue with " new" tires. The next time when I was going to replace my tires, I told the tire guy no tires over 6mo old, and to send me the made on dates when he got them in. 1 of the 4 came in over our agreed limit of 6 months old. he got a replacement tire with a better made on date. This story was on my old RV and not my Alliance RV.
