I too would wait till the 5 or 6 year mark, unless you have that bad feeling than go ahead do it. Nothing worse than hearing "I told you so " Good Luck and Happy Camping...Joe

Your tires are commercial tires and much stronger than the STs and LTs most other folks are running. The 17.5 tires should last 7 years, especially the way you are taking good care of them. I would consider spending the money on a tire pressure monitor system instead of new tires. The new TPMS will monitor both pressure and temperature, thereby letting you know if any tire is having trouble. Of course, nothing will protect you from road hazards that will take out a tire regardless of its age and condition.

Ditto the above - and the advice which followed from "stripit".

Your choice of wheels/tires and their advice is "spot on"!

PP and "Seven" - maybe less pressure after weigh-in.
