Are there any visible cracks or are they worn?

Many of the original tires provided on 5th wheels are "Bombs"

I have read some good posts about the radials and many bad posts about the bias ply. My bias lasted 3.5 years and maybe 7000 miles before all were separating in the tread and one let go.

No personal experience, but you could do a SEARCH on Duro. I'll bet you get hours of reading.

Our friends have a 3 slide Laredo with ST 225 X 15 Duros. He has yet to have a tire problem in 2 years. So far so good.
