First thing I did when I bought my new trailer was replace my China bomb tires with Goodyear Endurance tires. But it goes beyond that. My truck is set up for towing. One of the most important features it has is the ability to monitor trailer tire pressure and temperature via the onboard trailer tire TPMS system. This way I'll always know when I start losing air or if a bearing starts to overheat. I see you use Ryobi tools. I take a Ryobi one gallon compressor with me. Also a Ryobi impact wrench for changing tires. I also have a set of thin wall impact lug nut sockets that fit any tire out there. My trailer has flared spokes and a standard tire wrench or socket won't fit, so thin wall is the only way to go. I also have a Ryobi drill for the stabilizer jacks. And a Ryobi vacuum for inside the trailer. And they all take the same 18 volt battery. As for a jack, I have a 3 ton hydraulic jack
My RV came with Goodyear Endurance tires not only for the main set, but also for the spare. Every RV RUclipsr says they’re one of the best you can have. Nevertheless, I think I’ve spent more money on tools to prevent and replace a flat tire than any other aspect of my RV. But with that being said, I haven’t tested the supplies to make sure they will work for my needs in case I do encounter a flat. After watching your video, I definitely will.
Those are probably good tires. Good advice. A couple of month ago I made a video with suggestions for tire emergency tools. I thought I was prepared. I never dreamed that the jack's handle wouldn't fit the handle. I've got that fixed, but I think I will buy a hydraulic jack. It is really hard to get under there with anything else. Try it.
First thing I did when I bought my 17B was buy a wheel and tire. $180, and I just toss it into the bed of the truck. I've heard you need to reinforce the bumper to mount a spare there.
I have heard that recently, but I have had mine on the back bumper for 2 years, and I check for any metal fatigue, and see nothing. Having said that, reinforcing it would not be a bad idea. It isn't strong looking set up, but how strong does he really have to to hold one tire?

I keep a Ryobi 18v impact , Harbor Fraight impact sockets for lug nuts and a small hydraulic jack just in case I get in a bad situation.
I am probably going to get a hydraulic jack. That would make things go so much easier.
Thanks for the comment!

@funinourrv I guess it depends on what the weight of the tire and the amount of bounce on the factory weld. Not sure I trust it, quite honestly!
Very reasonable. I just had it on there for two years before I heard the concern.
I definitely would not add anything to it, like a bike rack.
