General Discussion / Re: Do tires fail due to age, cupping, cracks?

I know this thread is about bike tires but I'm sure glad to hear this discussion about RV's. On my recent 5500 mile road trip to the west coast I saw lots of motorhomes, trailers, cabover campers etc. I thought about the prospect of having one, especially traveling with a dog? I saw mainly motorhomes with tire issues and thought about handling such a big box with a blow out? I 've got a 16' flat bed construction trailer that really eats up tires too. Several have wrapped up around the fenders tearing them up. At a family reunion last weekend my wife's uncle who has a 39.5' 5th wheel toy hauler says he runs 10 ply truck tires on his. Seriously thinking about a cabover camper for my 3/4 ton Duramax diesel Pu. I'll definitely be thinking about air bags and good tires for that rig.
