    Pretty sure I need new tires...

    Plenty of tread left, but all 4 of the tires' sidewalks are cracked all the way around. What do y'all think? Also, the most off roading I've done in years is driving down a level, gravel road. I don't want some unidirectional low profile tires, but I don't think I need BFG all terrains or the Michelin ltx a/2 I have. Thanks for your input. 20" wheels, currently 285/55/20 tires.

    How old are they and are/were they exposed to the sun a lot? There is another thread on tire life and I believe the opinion was only 4 years. If I trailered the boat a lot and went any distance from home/help I would probably replace them.

      you can see the DOT code in the pic. they are 5 years old, and the truck has always been parked outside. i do trailer the boat basically every weekend and drive about 240mi round trip twice a month. i was going to wait a bit because i just dropped some coin on new rims http://www.rev-wheels.com/rev-wheel....=6306&cat=1267 (not the ones in the pic), new tail lights, and redoing my tint, but i guess i may as well just go for new tires. anyone have experience with these?
