I'm not sure that's necessarily true. I think with a little research that you'll find a higher failure rate for Rainier tires than you would like. Sure, they can last 4-5 years as they should, but there have been many more failures than you will find with Sailun, Carlisle, and other better rated tires. I believe most failures are delaminations. They just fall apart from the inside and then explode. The damage they cause can be very expensive.

Ours also came with Rainier F tires. After 1 year I replaced them with Sailun G tires for added peace of mind.

As you said, any tire can fail...it's an odds game. Personally, I'd be swapping those Rainiers out for Sailuns before a long trip. A better tire is pretty cheap insurance. YMMV
