OEM tires-Toy Haulers

We all know OEM tires are ticking time bombs generally. Toy haulers are heavy and typically have 10 ply tires. My 42'Jayco came with Westlake (China) tires. After 10K miles I am on my second wear issue, no flats or blow outs just abnormal wear.


Thought we had a bent axle, had it checked and no alignment issue.
Broken belts both times. Replacing all tires with Sailuns 14 ply.

    LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE tire threads!!!!!!!

    ST tires should be driven from the dealer to the nearest tire shop, removed and replaced with 16" LT tires.

    Then give the ST tires to the local mobile home park to put on peoples roofs.

    I am "only" 35' and about 12,500#. Replaced my Chinese Mission tires after the first year. Now 20,000 miles later the Michelin XPS Ribs hardly show any wear. Gonna age out long before they wear out.
