I've heard that if you have a blow out, drive immediately to the tire shop and replace the other tires as they are getting ready to go too.

You might consider replacing the spare too. Glad you didn't have too much damage.
some people just have more money than they know what to do with. if you have a blow out and your tires are all 8 years old ya its time to look at chaning them out, but at 3 years old, even 5 years if they look like there in good shape why throw the money away.
You learn to take notice of the first warning sign. If one tire fails mysteriously, for seemingly no reason you learn the others are going to fail soon as well. You learn that the brand new tires were never in good shape. Pretending that they are good simply because they are new only leads to more heartache and trouble down the road
Sure you could take the I'll wait and see approach, but the issue becomes collateral damage.
Blown tires can cause major/costly body damage to the RV.
If it wer just tires maybe you gamble. But when you consider the potential for collateral body damage, it's much easier to cut your losses and get new tires. BTDT.
It only took one of my OEM tires to fail for me to bail on the others and upgrade to Sailun's.
No tire issues since dumping the brand new OEM tires.
