[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4059364, member: 5412"] We spend 6-7 months a year pulling an 5th wheel RV for about 7 years now that weighs around 15,000 pounds loaded. The tires that came on it were cheap china bombs that typically blow up, rated for 60 mph, and cause thousands of dollars of damage when doing so. We did tons of research on RV forums finally deciding to go with the Goodyear Endurance tires. If they blow which they do not, they are designed to not sling tread to do additional damage to the RV. Goodyear Endurance tires are rated for 88 mph that we never get close to. Trailer tires are a different animal than automotive tires, designed to use on trailers vs auto's because they build the sidewalls thicker to handle the scrubbing when the tandem axle goes around a corner. Auto tires don't require that capability as they don't scrub. I'll leave it to the experts to explain it further.
