The only companies that make tires that are specifically marketed as RV tires are Michelin and Goodyear.

The Goodyear G670 and the Michelin XRV are the only tires marketed solely as RV tires. They have both had issues. The XRV has have more than its share of zipper failures and the G670 is subject to river wear when used as a steer tire.
