Seattle Lion - I have a 2014 Bighorn 3010RE. GVW is 14,000 pounds. The OEM Towmax tires lasted exactly 1 year and about 6-7000 miles before they started blowing. When the first one blew I immediately replaced all 4 with Maxxis 8008s. I had wanted to get to the end of 2014 before replacing them, but, guess what, that didn't happen. I run 55-58 and always kept them inflated to 80 psi.
I suggest that it might be a good idea to bite the bullet and go ahead and replace them now while it's convenient, cheaper, and safer, instead of having a blowout while running down a 2 lane highway in the middle of Wyoming like I did. They might be worth a few bucks in trade while new or maybe put them on Craig's List. My rationale was that once the first one blew, the others would not be too far behind.
