Tires are expensive but they are a major weak point in RV's. They can go bad just sitting parked for months on end with sun and heat and "lack of exercise" causing cracks in the sidewalls.

Keep covers over your tires to block sun damage and drive the rig once per month to keep tires in good condition.
