5yrs is the life of a tyre regardless of wear so replace. As for make, how deep is yer pocket? Premium is best, Michelin, Conti etc, but any commercial van tyre will do the job.

We don't always agree, but this time Tentz has it right.  Don't try to save on the cost of tyres, and remember the tyre doesn't know waht it's carrying.  There can't be any difference between a van and a motorhome.

All the tyre depot can do is look at them, same as you can, if they look ok then they do. This does not mean they are. If they are orginal 7-8yrs old then I'd change them. Its easy to date a tyre if you know how to read the date code(google 'how to date a tyre')& you can find out for yourself if your tyres are orginal or not. I'm suprised the tyre fitter who ok'ed your tyres did not do this, perhaps he did not know how to.

The tyre fitter hasnt yet laid eyes on the tyres. And when he does, im likely to take his word over a contributor on an internet forum if im honest. Like i say, ill report back WHEN theyve seen them.
