Should I renew my tyres

[AllesP]

Hi everyone!

My motorhome's Michelin camper tyres have very slight, hairline cracks in some places, in the side walls, but the motorhome passed its MOT in May with no advisories. The vehicle was registered in 2020 and built in 2019 so the tyres are approx 4/5 years old. May I have your views on whether I should buy new tyres yet.

Thank you.

Good excuse to get rid of crap Michelin campers for decent van tyres.
Changed ours on the last van at 3 years couldn't live with the poor grip and harsh ride.
Current van has them already thinking of changing them the van was new in June.

There should be a distinction between the personal review of Michelin Agilis Cross climate, (which are dreadful in my view) and a Michelin Cross climate Camping tyre which is a totally different tyre. In my opinion is a very good tyre - ride and grip. Although early doors yet.

On the tyre sidewalls will be a date stamp, the week and year. With tiny cracks appearing and the tyres being 5 yrs old +, I'd be looking round for a full set replacement, now before the weather changes (Perhaps All Season tyres...best of both worlds)
