Long road trip question.

we are going on our first long road trip to Texas in July.

Our TH (toy Hauler) is 4 years old we bought it new and it's parked at my house sandwhiched between mine and my neighbors in Oxnard Ca (So Cal) I have a long drive way and the tires get minimal sun. We have never bought new tires as I know most of the time age comes before tread. Should I buy new tires before our road trip or should I wait? I can also buy tires in Texas if I feel like I need them and don't buy them before we leave. The tires now are something like grand prime or grand ride . This is not a which tire I should buy or how much my budget is thread I just need to know if I should buy all new including spare before or after.

I have no confidence in trailer tires (made in China) so I installed truck tires (LT's).

What is the date on the tires? That should be used to determine the age of the tires. It might also help if you said where Oxnard is and what type of RV you have, I don't know what a TH is.

I have replaced my tires when the date code indicated they were 5-6 years old. I don't think I would replace mine at 4 years.

Fixed. You had me go look for date but it looks like I might replace them sooner. I'll upload pic of my discoverys.
