Broken Cord on Michelin Tire

[bubblerboy64]

Question. I know that it is recommended to not run tires older then 8
to 10 years maximum. Approximately how many miles are these tires
good for? I haven't heard that mentioned. If a guy runs about 10K
per year can he expect to run out of tread long before the years add
up? I don't typically get more then 35k on car tires I have no idea
what to expect on the MH. I of course understand there are all kinds
of variables to consider but as compared to a car what do you figure
for tread life on the tires you run on your BB'ds?
