BFG Commercial T/A tires

I am on my second set of BFG Commercial T/A tires on my 5th wheel. I've been pleased with the tires but I have just experienced two thread separations on my current set. The DOT date of manufacture shows tires to be about 4 1/2 years old, and I was getting close to putting on a new set. Now I'm concerned if this is still a good choice.

While they are not the quality Of Michelins, they have always seemed to be a good choice for the money. Have the quality of these tires changed?

Hi,

I have your size on my TT. LT 225/75R16 LR E I installed them in June 2012.
ST225/75R15 to LT225/75R16 Conversion

My camper is just under 10,000# loaded. So far they have been very good. They wear nice and flat and I have not experienced any tire issues. I do however check them at every rest or gas stop. I have been pre-trained with 3 belt detachments failures on the prior ST's. I also now have a TPM system.

In the near future I will be needing new ones due to age. I will never wear these out until we start cross country travel.

Hope this helps

John
