Tire replacement before trip, would you?
The westlake tires on my RV are 4 years old in November. We are headed to Atlanta in 3 weeks for a 9 day trip. I have checked the tires and there are zero cracks or bulges and they tires are wearing...

If I do swap I will be going with the new Goodyear Endurance e rated tires.

Every tire I have blown was aired properly, taken care of correctly, and in it's 4th year. not ran too fast or anything stupid. Not 4 years old, but in the 4th year.
I blew a tire last weekend, my first in 18 yrs of towing. :M Must've been horseshoes because I made the discovery on my driveway about an hour after getting back from a camping trip. Further inspection showed the tire, some generic brand manufactured in China and supplied as original equipment when I bought the trailer new just 4 yrs ago, simply split - no signs of a nail, etc, it just split, including the steel belt. Trailer is at the dealer now for a new set of Made in the USA Goodyear Endurance, Load Range D in the size I require. Certainly a lot more expensive to replace all four when I could have replaced just the one but then I'd always be worrying about those other three - not worth the stress IMO.
