I am leaving for a trip to south Florida on Wednesday, 750 mile trip one way, and I noticed today that my pass front tire has some small dry rot cracking on the sidewall. The tires are Michelin and are about 7 years old, the driver side has no cracking and looks perfect. The pass front has me worried. I planned to replace them after this trip, but I don't want to chance it.

It has Michelin, but what other brand do you recommend or have used? Michelin are around $700 each, and I have heard from several truck conversion dealers that they need to be replaced around 6 years, that the Michelin is one of the worst to blow out.

Any recommendations?
