Always blame the tires, never the way they are driven. yesterday going down I94 in Wisconsin is was passed by a truck pulling a New fiver. He was a contract carrier delivering a new trailer with Indiana transport liscense. I was going 74 mph.He passed me quickly. Tires are rated in most cases and all ST tires at 65 MPH.Yes I know, they may have been Michlien ribs, but do you really beileve a brand new trailer would have them? So here we are, a tire that is driven in excess of it's rated speed and you want to blame the tire maker (China bombs)
They're *NOT* *CHINA* Bombs......
They're *ST* Bombs !!..:S -
including GY Marathons when *they* were mfg in the USA.
Mainland China is very capable of mfg tires to the desired specs -
that includes Michelin mfg facilities in mainland China.
The "good reputation" Maxxis (Cheng Shin Rubber Co.), HQ in Taiwan (the "other China") also has mfg facilities in mainland China.
Use *ST* tires - pay very close attention to their "condition" at all times.....they *ARE* IEDs..:W
.
My Maxxis Tires were made in Thailand.
