Nobody wants to spend big bucks for replacement tires for our RVs - that's no different than we don't want to spend money we don't have to for ANYTHING we buy. But I can tell you from personal experience with a tire blow-out at highway speed, buying tires is NOT something you want to scrimp on.
We had a driver-side front tire explode at 70mph, and tire shards came up though the floor of our Beaver Patriot diesel pusher, spraying diesel fuel everywhere. If that doesn't give you some religion about trying to save a nickel on new tires, nothing will.
Don't do it. Buy the best quality tires you can find, and be thankful you did. Tires aren't the place to try to save money.
