I will keep running them until next year. Then I will change out the fronts for 2 new GY's. They will have my business again. BTW, never rotated them since new. 30k now and 80% left on rears and 70% on fronts.

I would not, under any circumstances, run tires that old on any rv that I own in light of the many previous posts on this and other forums about the questionable safety of tires that age. At the absolute minimum, I would replace the front steer tires with something like Hankook, Hercules, Yokohama or Toyos. The evidence and numerous negative posts about GY quality is more than adequate for me to not even consider them in the future. It is, however, your decision and I wish you the best of luck.

I just got a reply from the tire dealer I have planned on using up in Oregon (no sales tax, less cost), that there are no Hercules tires my size in any of the US warehouses and they could not be available by the time I am at his location.
Sounds like a bait and switch to me. HELLO HERCULES TIRE???? or is it good bye Hercules tire and hello -----------tire?

They are being used as fast as they can make them. It took 2 weeks to get mine. They had a DOT date 11 2012. These are newly made. Just good tires for a good price.

thanks Likeduke, definately not a bait and switch as he told me if I could get them here local in San Jose I should buy them here as their warehouses have no inventory in the 19.5 size.
