Tires on 5ver Get New / Run old

I need a few opinions, the tires on the 5ver are 3 years old. Total miles on the tires are aprox. 5000. They look good and show no signs of wear. There are also no signs of dryrot or cracking.<br>We are getting ready to load the trailer and take a two-week trip to Kentucky. <br>I would like too find out if anyone has had trouble with tries of this age or if you folks that are in the know would run them?<br>I’m planing to change them after this season anyway so it would just be a little ahead of my schedule so what do you think? <br>

You are good to go with tires only 3 years old. Most experts recommend that you replace the tires on an RV every 5 years, regardless of tread. My fiver (11K pounds) has 4 year old tires, with about 10,000 miles. We went to Tennessee this spring and had no problems, and I would expect that you could take your trip with the same results.

That was the thing that I wanted to here. Saves a few bucks that will be better spent on R&amp;R. ;D Just did not want to start out from home and blow tires all the way to Kentucky.
