most say 5 years on big truck tires no matter how many miles or tread. I don't think the Tyron system would be a real advantage on a semi type tire. When I blew a steer tire a few weeks ago on my toter there was not enough left of the tire to help with the handling. I was only running 60 - 65 mph when the tire blew so I had no problem keeping control plus I did not have the trailer with me. The tire completely disintegrated when it blew. Sounded like a shotgun when it exploded. I think a TPMS would be the way to go.
