I second the Toyo's. I put 6 of them on my coach for less than 1/2 the price of the RV tires. Had them include the e-balance, a liquid that is pored inside the tire and continuously balances the tire at all speeds. On a smooth road it's like a carpet ride no vibration, it's wonderful.
As stated earlier the RV tires have extra UV protection the truck tires do not. So it's important to keep the tires covered when not in use. Its my understanding by driving and getting the tires hot causes something happens in the tire compound that helps fight UV and a tire sitting will dry rot much quicker that a tire being used.
For whatever it's worth if we are going to park for more than a week I cover the tires. The coach is on the road more than enough to keep the compounds doing whatever they do.
