I am new to RVing, bought a '99 34V Bounder last summer. Put new tires on it last fall, and got BF Goodrich tires about 6 months old, was aware of asking dates from reading a number of on-line sources. BUT, to add to other thoughts on tires, I could have had tragic results last month. We had an early thaw here in northern Minnesota and in backing my RV out of a new driveway I got stuck and to back out did a lot of jacking with ther leveling jacks to get planks under the tires. Was still having problems and a guy came by with a 4x4 pickup and being on blacktop was able to pull me out. My problem came in not crawling under the Rv - there was a 18 x 18 cement block buryed to protect a sewer cleanout. After reaching Oklahoma City and for a couple hundred miles I thought the roads were just rough, jacked up front end thinking maybe I had a wheel or bearing problem I found both front tires totally bald on the inside (I believe when the front end sunk I hit that concrete block and bent the tie-rod). Some would say I was lucky, I believe I was blessed and God protected my stupidity. It cost me about $1,000 for 2 front tires (left one had steel cords showing) and front end alignment, but all I can think about is the 100# of air pressure and what could have happened if 1 or both of those tires blew. Sometimes we need more than just a walk around. If in doubt crawl underneath your rig.
