Long story short, Bought MH in 2000 it had 1998 Bridgestones on it, I applied 303 Protectant on a regular basis(3-4 times yearly). Just bought new identical tires, old tires 9.5 years old one inside dual had small sidewall crack others had no cracking or drying at all.
My question is should I (would you) start applying the 303 Protectant on new tires or wait?
I always kept tires covered and parked on a moisture barrier, I believe this and the 303 prolonged the life of the tires.

I bought my new Toyo tires and put 303 on them that afternoon, when I got home. Use it every 3 months.

Since you've obviously had good luck with it I'd continue what worked in the past. Start using it now.

I buy the 303 at my RV dealer. It's not cheap, but is it ever good!

I also use it in plact of wax on my 5th wheel. It makes the bugs easy to remove from the front cap.

Check out the 303 protectant web site. They will have a list of dealers. Many boat dealers sell it. Also check any of the on-line Rv parts dealers.

All I ever heard about tires was to only wash with mild soap and water. Never put anything on tires. I have done this but do what works for you.
