I have Castle Rock tires on our FR 5th wheel we bought new last year. We have 1000 miles on them and I'm not replacing them until I need to. We'll put another 1,500 miles on this summer and then another 1,200 on our trip to Florida in the fall. Keep cold tire pressure where it's supposed to be and you should be fine. I did buy a TPMS for them though. If I were to lose pressure in a tire, I want to know right away so I can get off the road and change the tire. Just my opinion but I think a lot of trailer damage comes from tires that break apart because they've been run on flat for a while and they shred. Probably more times damage is done that way than from a true blowout situation.
similar experience with us. first TT we bought couple of years ago had castle rocks. 18 months, approx 5000 towing miles never had a problem. always checked pressure before towing and kept at recommended psi 65. never towed over 65mph, (never wanted or needed to). had TPMS.
