Also make sure that the tires are the same exact diameter. Use a string to go all the way around the tire. If one is measuring say 1/4" longer than the tire next to it, then at 600 RPM (what you will be going at 60 MPH) one tire will be trying to go about 10 feet further than the other at 60 MPH, and that can damage them.
So why not try moving the like mileage tires, say the front two for your right side dualls, and then the new one on the front.

Yes the oil added to a rear axle for locking type differentials will eat away at the rubber on the tires. My oil leak was something that I could see. It was repaired under my extended warranty, however the brake shoes where not. I declined having the RV repair place install new pads for $525, and bought a pair for $49 at the local auto parts store. Installed them myself. Took about 1/2 hour per side of the RV.
