6 years on LT265/75R16s... no problems.
I put cheap generic LT265/75R16 LREs on our Chaparral 355 6 seasons ago after one of the Goodyear Marathon ST230/80R16 LRDs that came with the trailer developed a bulge. I have not had a single pro...

I am in the research/purchase mode for tires too. For one reason or another I have a combo of tires right now which have been rotated around due to a bent spindle on one axle & some slight alignment issues.
I will install the Lippert Correct Track system in a few weeks to take care of the alignment & have a new axle to replace the bent spindle one.
The plan is to take the tires off the truck rear & put them on the trailer. BFG Commercial LTs. They have a fair amount of life in them at only 25,000 miles so they should be good on the trailer once all of the alignment issues are taken care of.
The rear of the truck will get the new rubber. Once done truck & trailer will have the same tires which means 2 spares.
I don't cover tires in winter either but truck & trailer are stored indoors, same as covering to me. At 10 to 15 thousand miles a year my issue is tire wear rather than tire age.
