A though about tires. They are not good forever and should be changed after 5-7 years or if they become weather checked. The weather checking will happen on the sidewalls and in the treads. Those tires are unsafe and could do some real damage when letting go.
There is a Date Code on the Tires and here is some information;
Read the last two digits of the DOT code. The last two digits are the year of manufacture. If the last two digits are 07, for example, the tire was manufactured in 2007.
The two digits before the year indicate the week of the year that the tires were manufactured. There are 52 weeks in a year, so these two digits range from 01 to 52.

When we got our '82 the tires were so weather checked that I was afraid to drive it on the freeway and had to drive on city streets to get the new tires.
The newer coaches need the tires replaced more often than the older (smaller) ones. Cool
