Note that if you run your tires over inflated based on the load they carry, you will tend to wear out the center of the tread early, opposite for under inflated.

Unless you travel continually odds are your tires will need replacing due to age before they wear out.

For some reason, the RV community seems almost paranoid on the age of tires. I have a good friend who operates and rents equipment that includes dump trucks and other heavy vehicles. They replace truck tires when they can't be retreaded any more. He has twenty year old tires on some of his trucks. He says a good inspection will tell you when to replace a tire. The recap guy X-rays the tires to determine if the carcass is sound before retreading.
