If you change out oem tires soon after purchase, I am strongly of the opinion that you are over killing the issue. But we will never change the minds of the "I know better" members who recommend an immediate change out of the oem tires. This is a use your best judgement and its your decision at the end of the day. After over 25000 miles in recent years with 2 TTs and 2 pups, I have experienced 1 blow out and it may well have been the result of a road hazard.

I didn't get 2,000 miles out of the original TowMax tires on my fifth wheel. I religiously checked the inflation before every trip, and the tires never hit any kind of obstruction. The belts on the tires completely separated and the tread bulged in the center. Again, this happened in less than 2,000 miles, 18 months after I purchased the trailer new.
