my travel trailer tires, i'm lucky if i get 5ish years out of them. Boat tires may do ok a bit longer but travel trailers carry more weight i would imagine and greater chance of blowouts and cause greater damage when a blowout occurs.

RV tires take a BEATING. Even the most well intentioned loading of a TT or MH usually means about a ton of weight not accounted for, almost always unbalanced. I have never (knock on wood) had a problem with my decoy trailer tires and they get some miles on them....but it is always winter so they stay cool and the trailer is very light compared to its rating because goose decoys are more about the bulk than the weight....until you are schlepping them across a weight field LOL...

I’ve set a record on blowouts, fortunately I’m like nascar crew at changing them now. Biggest issue is making sure pressure is right before trips, also Louisiana backroads aren’t very friendly for trailer tires. I have a double axle trailer and have had older tires outlast brand new tires
