Any of the typical “stock” OEM tires on fifth wheels are typically not worth a hill of beans.. However some are being equipped OEM now with Sailun which is an excellent brand...

UV exposure does degrade the tire structure... put to pieces of plastic, cloth, etc out in the direct sun covering 1 covering one of each sample...

You’ll be amazed at how quickly the color fades and the plastic turns brittle..Ruth example but just a generality..

Proper cold tire inflation and covering when not towing adds a ton of longevity
