old tires vs new tires

[black69]

I will bet there is some common sense an insurer expects that we maintain our cars in 'good working order', and is likely in fine print none of us read. Get into a head on with those bald tires, and good luck with thinking your insurance company WON'T try to back out of coverage. They will. Same logic <span style="font-style: italic">may</span> apply for old tires blowing out.

If that were the case then insurance companies would never pay a claim. They would come up with some reason.

I would think that common sense would come into play here at some time. Running on old tires to me does not make any sense. If you are going in and out of the trailer all of the time and that is it, then you can use the old rubber. If you are going to drive it, change it!
