motorhome??
a motorhome with 22 inch rims or a motorhome with 16 inch rims...
HUGE difference... in capacity and tire design.
The 16 inch motorhomes... are almost always over loaded, and yes, 5 years is the limit and if overloaded.. the e rated michelins will fail as will lots of other tires fail and fail early...
Having the motorhome weighed on each axle with all the food, water, and supplies in it... will usually tell you that one axle, or more will be over the limit. Lots of motorhomes on 16 rims will barely pass only when EMPTY.
You can order g rated tires, about the only GOOD fix, redistribute the loading to properly and correctly load each corner.. and cut down on material, supplies and water you haul, to bring it back under the max weight for each corner and tire/s by moving and then re weighing the vehicle till you get each corner under the rated weight... iirc, most e rated tires are good for around 3360lbs per tire at 80lbs single and less weight as a dual. bihsst.
22 inch tire motorhomes have a lot more leeway and better and thicker tires and will usually more resistant to uv damage,, but they will start to give trouble after 8 years, 10 years is a bit long as they will rot as well... I have had mine start to go at 12 years.. but then they showed it so I was not surprised when they started going.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
