Back to the OP's original concern - Chances are if your OEM tires are OK for the first trip, they're worth keeping for a few years.
One of the unknown factors is how your TH was pulled to where you bought it. There have been threads on this board where people have seen the haulers doing in excess of 75MPH with their load behind. Most of the smart haulers will stick to 60-65MPH because that's the sweet spot for their fuel mileage. But you just can't know what your specific unit went through. That may be more of a risk than what country the tires were made in.
When I was brand new to RVs last year I asked my mobile tech about replacing my 18-month old (I bought a pre-owned TT) Towmax tires. His reply was that if they haven't had a problem yet, you're likely to get the appropriate number of years out of them.
