    Replacing trailer tires

    My tires are 3 seasons old. The tread is fine but is there a time frame when you should replace your tires based on age. I put about 5k miles a year on them. They carry a 19 foot ranger single axle. I have never rotated them either. Just curious when you guys replace your tires. Trying to do anything i can to prevent failure.

    Goodyear recommends replacement every 3 years. Let your conscious be your guide.

    Re: Replacing trailer tires (rangerguy)

    I've had mine for 5 years. I look at the sidewalls very close. I'll end up getting new ones this spring because my sidewalls are showing cracks.

    Re: Replacing trailer tires (Tritonbmc)

    My old boat I had both tires blow out on consecutive trips. I had been checking them, looking at sidewalls, properly inflating them, etc. They both still had good tread. It was a used boat so I wasn't 100% sure of the age.

    The one thing I learned was to make sure that I had everything with me need to change the tires. Figured I would just use the jack from the Jeep Cherokee but it would lift high enough. I now carry a hydraulic floor jack with me.
