I put new ungraded G tires on the camper 2 years after I got it so they were only 3 years old. The truck tires were 6 years old and I had planned to get new ones that summer, but instead got a new truck.
Yes, there is a big difference between pickup tires and MH tires. Not sure I understand the comment, cause when a tire goes bad you will need to replace it no matter how you get it. Not having space for a tire is just a lame excuse for not wanting to carry a tire. It would not be my choice, but everyone has their own priorities.
Edit - Mr D has a 40' MH and 40k load capacity and you can't find space for a tire?? At a minimum I would strap a unmounted tire on the roof with a cargo rack. The best spare tire is one never used!
