[Tony the Manc']

Our tyres on our moho (Elddis Encore 254) are now just 8 years old.....215/70 R15...Vanco Continental Campervan.
There is no visual degradation of them, no cracks, no bulging and very good tread depth. Have swapped front to back at 15k.
Now at 20k and 8 years old. (tyres not me!!!)
Are they past their best as, after various discussions................
4 new ones on order @ £118.00ea.

There are a number of threads running at the moment on this subject but there is a general rough consensus that replacement after 7 years immaterial of tread depth.

Are they "8 years old" or were they fit 8 years ago?
Chances are they were not "NEW BORN" when fitted.
Check manufacture date.

That sounds like a great price, who is your supplier?

Wise move. See what can happen if you leave them, bearing in mind the high pressure on inflation.

What make and type of tyres were they?

What make and type of tyres were they?

They were Davanti DX 440. Not a tyre to recommend. In fact after my situation with them they have issued a caveat stating these are not recommended for Motorhome use.

How do they look inside? What does your local tyre fitter say and is it worth the risk ?
