Had the chance to preview an RV (not a Newell) with a family member looking to purchase. The front tires happened to be smaller but the same manufacture as what we have on our Newell, albeit, made 30 weeks apart with a date code 1816 in the same year. The history of the previewed RV....stored outside, no wheel covers and used several time`s a year. Our coach's history, that we acquired at the end of 2018 with the front tires date code of 4816.....the PO stored it outside 2017 & 2018 with no covers. Once we owned the coach, we use it several times a year, stored it out side 2019 & 2020 with no covers then moved it inside late 2020 and I check tire pressures at least monthly and service accordingly. Also I apply "303 Aerospace Protectant" to the tires monthly. Take a look at these images of the previewed coach's tires....

And now our tires.....

Having said all this in order to get to my point of this post. The difference, I believe, is the monthly application of 303 and servicing tires. We are about to replace our front tires on the coach with a date code of 4816 with virtually no weather checking on the tires. Needless to say the new tires will get the same treatment.
