It depends on your aversion to risk, i.e. how much of a gambler you are. The tire manufacturers, e.g. Michelin, say a large motorhome tire may last 10 years with proper care and inflation, but they also recommend having it inspected by a tire professional every year after 5 years.

Many of us here feel that 7 years is the point where the risk of a failure (blowout) gets excessive. A tire failure on a motorhome often leads to body damage as well as the risk of loss of control. $2000-$3000 in body damage is quite easy to inflict these days.

In any case, at 10 years of age yours are on borrowed time. I would be shopping for tires real soon.
