    How long do you keep your tires....

    I have a single axle ranger trailer and the tires are about half to the wear bar with minimal sidewall cracks. One tire is mfg. '97 and the other '99.

    Cracks aside - would you replace tires solely based on age?

    If so, how old is too old?

    I wouldn't replace them unless I decided they needed replacing.
