On inspection today found my right front dry rot showing up around the lettering by the rim. For safety I will replace it tomorrow. Plan on getting TYRON installed next month.
Out of interest, how old are the tires you are replacing? My truck tire place says 5 years, regardless of miles on motorhomes. Also can you post how much the tyron costs and the before and after ride quality.....

Thanks
