All the above is right.
I would weigh the rig and see how close you are to the tires limits. A tire monitoring system might save you, might not. Get one anyway. Also I would consider where you are traveling. Out west with limited services available is something to think about. Higher speeds for long durations in high temp weather? Also the chances of one blowout causing another happens. Can you replace 2 blowouts? Two spares?
All that said, I replaced OEM tires immediately on both 5th's with Maxxis.
