Tires on the towed.
Every one says towing is hard on the towed's tires. well I bought a set of 4 for our jeep today, did the math and found we got 91K miles out of the last set. go figure?

I have towed several thousand miles without tire issues. There are some things that you can do to improve tire life when towing.
Step one: Visit an alignment shop
Step two: Before they put it on the rack, TELL THEM YOU WILL BE TOWING THE RIDE.
They set one of the settings just a bit different if towing (Caster I think but do not quote me on that as this is one area where I'm in over my head).
Finally, Avoid very sharp turns (The kind that can damage your car/Motor home if the tow hitch is not long enough) These turns should never happen no the road, MIGHT in a campground, or parking lot, If you get in to a hyper tight turn DROP and drive. Also do not back up.
