Do I need to replace the tyres on my motorhome?

The tyres on my motorhome are showing signs of perishing, the DOT stamp is (0216) would it be good practice to replace them. If so which tyre would you suggest, for good petrol consumption, low noise and all round grip.

Given your tyres are approaching ten years old and are showing signs of age we would definitely recommend replacing them before using the vehicle again. Without knowing your tyre size and budget it's difficult to recommend tyres. We would suggest using a website such as blackcircles.com where you can enter your tyre size and view a range of tyres at varying price points and compare factors such as noise, wet grip and economy.
