Cheap tires + Speed = Blown tire
Last year around this time I posted how everybody on the highway whether car or truck and trailer were blowing by me and I passed maybe 2 people over several hours on the road with my cruise set at 67...

Sometime between 02 and 05 we lost two Goodyear Wrangler tires on our Fifth Wheel. Well taken care of. One tire took off part of the skirt on passenger side in Ky.. One on left side let go on Interstate 69.
A Dealer poorated, should have replaced the two and the two remaining, with higher rated LT tires.. You could see tiny little breaks all around the sidewalls. Used Armor All a no no.
I worry with our tires on Mh. AAll replaced with new Michelins,on the rear but the old GY670s were as new once pulled and looked at. I could have gone many years without concern.
Michelins only rated 5 years while GY670s were rated 10 years but tend to river on steer axle.
State trucks constantly on the Interstate loaded down with blow tire bits and pieces of semis and other heavy vehicles.
They don't care despite the death toll and destruction covered by our insurance.
However our Mhs and Towables do not have sturdy wheel wells or cans, and blown tires destroy the RVs and cause them to wreck with many fatalities.
How much more would steel or other can on the four corners cost?
If I had the money I would find someone to craft some for our MH. 200lbs even would not make a difference weight wise and should would give more peace of mind.
