Running the typical RV tire seven years, even five years, is simply not a recommended practice. The majority of RV’s built in this country are delivered with “Trailer King” grade tires, barely fit to drive off the lot. Keep in mind your Goodyear brand for average RV’s until two years ago was that now infamous Marathon....how did they turn out for you?

"I" did not mention Marathons. My "E" tires were Wranglers. I would never run POS tires like "Trailer King, GreenBall etc"

I dumped the new TrailerKing tires that came on my Boat Trailer and replaced with GY Endurance.

QUALITY tires will go 7 years.

Cummins12V98: Looking at the tire picture you posted. Not sure what it depicts. You mention "the three center ribs" but there are only four ribs on the tire. Can you elaborate some more on the point you are making. Your help is very much appreciated, thanks. My tires look somewhat like your picture.
