How Long Should a Trailer Tire Last
Question:
i put 15,000 miles a year on my 5th wheel with 235 80 R 16 E tires. Do they make a trailer tire that will last 2-3 years?

Typically trailer tires are going to last up to 5 years, so most of the tires are going to be well within the 2-3 years you're seeking. A lot of how long a tire lasts has to do with how it's stored and how well they are maintained. When stored with tire guards to shield them from the sun, kept off of hot surfaces for long periods of time and always run at the proper inflation, a tire like the # AM10248 should last you at least 2 years considering the mileage that you're putting on them assuming that they're properly maintained.
You may want to consider getting some tire covers like the Adco Tyre Gard RV Wheel Covers - Designer Series - 30" to 32" - Tan - Qty 4 # 290-3962, which will fit on your 235/80r16 tires. These will help protect your tires from dangerous UV rays when you're at the campsite and help prolong their life.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out.
