Old Good Tires?
I bought and rv from 89 that was rarely used. Tires look like new. f78-15st st205/75d15. After all these years if well kept - would they have degraded in any way structurally?

I hope you realize that statistics plays a role here.
For example, if the tire failure rate is 10% (that value is way high!!), then the probability of a single individual getting a single failure is 40% (4 tires on the vehicle X 10%).
But there exists the possibility of someone getting 2 failures in the same set (40% X 40% = 16%) ...... and 3 failures in one set (40% X 40% X 40% = 6%) .... and 4 (3%).
On the other hand, the probability of not experiencing ANY failure is 60% (Keeping in mind that we are ASSUMING a 10% failure rate, and that value is way high, so the real probability is much higher then 60%)
So most people will NOT experience a tire failure even on failure prone tires.
