I just replaced the tires on my 3 week old fiver with a set of Goodyear Marathons, increasing the load range from C to D. No guarantees, but it evens the odds a bit and reduces my anxiety considerably. I see it as part of the purchase price.
The odds are not "even" - unfortunately, *not even* close..:(
Do a search on GY Marathons here -including the archives- (limiting to 5th wheels = 874 matches in 44 pages) or any other RV forums.
BTW - Marathons are mfg in China, and still plenty of negatives even when they were mfg in USA!
(Would have given you my USA mfg set of 5 w/about 3K miles free - but would have felt guilty.....or liable, LOL!)
"Anxiety reduction" - well sort of.
GY will *usually* pay for damage repair/s to your trailer due to tire failure.
