[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3598554, member: 5412"] Here is my experience tied in with a lot of RV folks that tow thousands of miles I read about online. Most ST trailer tires are made in China. Commonly called China bombs because of their propensity to explode and cause massive damage. One also has to look at the speed ratings on the tires as well as load rating. Our first RV was only rated 60 mph max speed. What we found is that the Goodyear Endurance tire is top of the line for towing. Couple of reasons. They have a speed rating of 87mph and if they blow, it’s out the sidewalls with the tread remaining intact which doesn’t typically tear up fender wells. Converted our first RV to them with zero issues after many thousand miles of towing. the new RV still has the G rated China bombs, but after the next trip they will be changed to Goodyear. We also run the tire pressure monitors on each wheel. Monitors pressure, temperature, slow leak alarm, rapid failure alarm, and normal hi/lo pressure. Mounts on the windshield or just laying on the dash. The sunny side certainly gains several additional psi. They go into sleep mode when the trailer isn’t moving. Motion gets them started on the display unit. [/QUOTE]
