Re: [MBZ] Comfort Level with Older Tires

Regular use helps.  Tires that just sit seem to rot.
Partly why I like loaning out the car trailer to the
neighbors.

Not sure how often you would need to reapply.

Re: [MBZ] Comfort Level with Older Tires

2022-08-09 Thread G Mann via Mercedes 
The special sealant is only available in northern climates and it is only
available during the winter months. It's called "snow" and works best when
applied with deep cloud cover that limits sunlight to 3 hrs per day.
"Snow" protectant is supplemented by use of "salt induced deep corrosion
additive" which causes cars to be parked inside all winter and only driven
during "High Mosquito season" .
[Sarcasm intended].. ;))

303 offers a “tire protectant and balm” product that blocks UV, but if it was 
exposed to the elements I suspect you would have to reapply regularly.

There must be some sort of sealant that you could spray on tires to 
protect them from UV if you are not able to park indoors.

My F150 owners manual says 7 years, then replace regardless of miles. Our
truck spends most of the time in the garage and only has 19,000 miles, so
I'm going to go 10 years, then look at them closely.

I would agree with Greg. Since Dad was in IL most of the time, I suspect the 
sidewalls are in good shape. I would inspect them closely for cracking, and if 
they look good, don’t worry about it at this point.

My â?~05 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 SLT 5.9 Cummins  has 60K mile Michelins on it
that were made third week of 2016. Between my dad I there have been 40k
miles put on them. They are wearing well.
When do I need to get nervous about the straight up age of the tires?
Citing that data should I be concerned taking off for a roadtrip to
Colorado on those tires?

I guess Michelin says you can go up to 10 years, depending on many factors.

IIRC, 5 or 6 years is the recommended age to replace tires regardless of tread 
wear.

You don’t want that old truck with old tires. Drop it off at Okie Acres.
