Our year old rig has the so called China bombs, ( ours are by Westlake) but so far we've gone 11,000 trouble free miles. Our rig is a 2 axle 19,500 TH with 17.5" tires which call for 123 psi.

With all that said, I attended an owners rally last fall at which the tire manufacturers president presented on their product. I asked what the expected mileage live was and he states 15,000 miles on my particualer tire. We'll hit that by next Spring at which time I plan to replace them. For most people , that'd probably equate to 4-5 years, so your time frame is reasonable.
