Even though tires are in good shape, there is less than 1/32" tread at wear bars. I’ll have a new set of tires for our next road trip. Van is kept in a garage in east TN so winter and summer damage has been minimal.

After the comments suggesting tires were older than the car, I was pleasantly surprised to learn they were manufactured the 15th week of 2005.
