Clas C and tires
I have been doing online research for the purchase of a new to us RV. A Class C is high on my list. Probably an E450 from about 2000 to 2004. I really want a dinette, sofa and a chair. That would mean...

Any thoughts from you experts on these tires:
https://www.pepboys.com/tires/details/Futura/Scrambler%2520API/609878/00828?quantity=6
Futura Scrambler API (I was told they are made by Cooper for Pepboys).
Load rating: E
All-season tire
40,000 mile warranty
$87/tire not including installation/etc.
Part of my thinking is that I have zero chance of putting 40,000 miles on my RV over the next 5-6 years and therefore these tires will be eventually replaced because of old age rather than being worn down. Some of the other (more expensive tires) might last more miles, but that won't matter because I'll have to replace them in 5-6 years anyways.
As part of my "How to select tires" process, I also just stumbled upon the UTQG ratings.

Do any of you dive this deep in analyzing tires? Seems like it *could* help to compare treadwear, traction, and temperature across different brands. I haven't done it yet, but I'll have to compare the UTQG ratings of several tires to see if there is a big difference and perhaps providing a good definitive/measured reason why some more expensive tires might be worth it.
