Amen brother! I have Mission Tires mfg in 2007. The tread is good and like many folks, I thought I would try to get one more trip in before replacing the tires. The tread is good, but I was noticing some aging around the edge of the tire.
The alarm on my TPMS went on and indicated the right rear tire was rapidly deflating. I got pulled over okay without any damage. The tread was starting to seperate. I got the tire replaced with another Chinese ST tire.
Will be going home this Friday. Hopefully I'll get there without any tire failure??? When I'm home, all the remaining tires will be replaced with new ST tires. NO MORE trying to get in that last trip.
