Barney, I think you hit on a very important key topic with any RV tire manufactured. Many of us are at the mercy of the dealership when it comes to RV tires. We have no idea what abuse the tires were subjected to before we buy our RV. For all we know, the trailer was towed from the manufacturer to the dealership with 30PSI in the tires and it may have been filled with heavy spare parts for other trailers. It could have been towed over road construction with sharp rocks, asphalt edges that bruised or damaged the tires internally. We just don't know.

So, when we get our RV home from the dealer, air the tires to the proper PSI and head out on our first RV trip and have a blowout, we blame the tire. Maybe it wasn't the tire at all.

With any part of the RV, especially the tires, proper maintenance, monitoring and use are very important if you expect to get good results. Thanks for bringing this up.
