Default Tires, weight, speed and age

I just purchased a Newell that has been driven approximately 2000 miles in the last ten years. All the tires are at least 10 years old. Some some show cracks but I am confindent all need to be replaced. I need to drive it 60 miles to get it home where I can then begin looking for used tires that have adequate tread and are not old.

My question is can I drive the coach home and then find tires or am I likely to have a blow out? I can drive 45 mph and the coach will be empty. Would that increase the odds significantly? I have some spares but the condition is about the same. If one or more blew out I could change the tire(s) and keep going. I am not concerned about being stranded but do have concern a blow out would do damage to the coach. Please advise.
