I have a 2000 Firehawk with
275 40 17 rubber. How long do
they last? Not miles - time
In 3 1/2 years only 7000 miles.
I've been told I could get 20,000 +
miles on them - that could take
12 years! Anyone know the time limit
on tires.
Thank's
I'am new - ex SLP er

depends on how the car is stored, temperature
humidity etc.

look for dry rot, cracks on the sidewall, you don't want the rubber drying out. I would not
run them after 5 years for sure.

aks for keRm - he'll give you the scoop!
