The best way to protect your RV from a tire blow out is to inspect and take care of your tires and keep them properly inflated. Although there may be some products that could potentially protect from damage if your tire does blow, they are not something that we offer.
Tires typically blow out from excessive heat from underinflation, overinflation, overloading, surpassing the speed rating, flat spots/sidewall rubbing, and bent spindles. It is a good idea to check your tires regularly to ensure they are properly inflated and do not have a wear pattern that indicates an issue.
The use of TPMS like # TM89FR is recommended to monitor your RV's tire pressure and temperature. This will warn you of changes with tire pressure and temperature so you know if something is wrong or if you need to add air to your tires.
I have attached a helpful article on trailer tires, along with a picture below showing tire wear patterns for your reference.
