Getting ready to pull tires off my 310 and pack bearings and inspect brakes, bolts etc. Any rhyme or reason to rotate the tires? Thanks.

How do you determine if tires are non directional?

What are Directional Tires? How to tell it: 2 Simplest ways
How to tell if you have directional tires? And first of all, what is a directional tire? We will look into everything one by one right now. Let’s scroll down!

There’ll be a single pointed arrow usually with at least the word “direction” close to it. I doubt they’re directional. I would believe directional tires are very rare today in the application we’re talking about. Most are for higher speed applications but check anyhow.

I'll do it, thanks. Do you think hey should be rotated?
I am the wrong guy to ask as I have VMPS; Vehicle Maintenance Paranoia Syndrome. Kidding aside (kind of kidding...I do have VMPS and very much enjoy working on vehicles and RVs) yes there is a measurable benefit is both performance and safety realized through tire rotation. To answer your question, yes, rotate your tires to get the most out of them.
I imagine rotating is always a good idea. Although I never rotated my Sailuns.
My last set lasted 7 years. Which was good enough for me...But there was uneven tire wear in the end. If it takes 7 years to happen I'm guess I'm OK with that. But had I rotated maybe I would have gotten 10 years, something to consider

How many miles over those seven years?
I'm guessing 50K?
Wow!!! That is awesome!
Yea that sort of why I'm Luke warm on rotating tires.
I know it has to help but I really can't complain how my Sailun's have held up otherwise.
Sailun is a very sturdy G rated commercial grade tire that wears really well even if you don't rotate....
That last part may not be true because the reason I changed tires at 7 years is I notice some uneven wear, but at 7 years it was time to change anyway

Ok, I am going to have them rotated. Next question, how many miles will I get out of my factory provided tires? All, Thanks for your responses!
I could be wrong about this but I don't think all of our RV's come with the same OEM tires.
Furthermore I don't think there is a one size fits all answer. Driving style, terrain and climate are all factors in determining longevity.
Your best guide to life expectancy is the mileage warranty from the manufacturer.
Exactly this.
I can use my motorcycle tires as an example. If you look at my riding group, and think that they all use the same tires on the same bikes (they don't) I'll get more mileage out of my tires than my buddies will. I accelerate evenly. Some of my buddies accelerate more aggressively. I corner with precision (i love technical riding). My buddies not so much. My tires will almost invariably last longer.
