What junk tires they are. I kick myself for not replacing them sooner but I though I could get one more season out of them. We have Michelin XPS ribs on order. That 5er isn't moving until we get the new tires on them. There are no ST tires made in North America. Best advise would be for those that can replace your china bombs with LTs.

I wouldn't run two year old Tow Max let alone 4 year old tires. You got more use out of them than most. I even change my Carlisles out at 4 years. Would do the same with an LT tire as well, not worth taking a chance with the damage that can be done. I've seen cars and trucks get damaged from a tire that separates quickly, a fiberglass trailer with wood floor, aluminum skirting, hydraulic lines, and electrical wiring all running in the area just above the tire doesn't stand a chance.
